An ES44AC and a freshly painted C44ACM lead an eastbound coal load through the S-Curves at the base of Coal Creek Canyon. You can just see the bridge over CO-72 in the background. After a few cooler days, the temperature is set to get up into the mid-90s again today, but the weather is just perfect this morning.
