Just west of Blue Mountain and the hotbox detector at MP 22.6, we see a westbound BNSF oil train making its way through the S-curves at the base of Coal Creek Canyon. Near the top-left corner of the picture, you can see the east portal of Tunnel 1, which the train will reach in just a few minutes. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster.
