Exclamation The New Colorado Ski Train (pics)

On my way back from a client in north Denver, I swung by Union Station and found the power for the "new" Colorado Ski train. 2 SD90MACs. I was able to get a shot of the cars when they were moving them as well. Of particular note (to me) is the 2 Milwaukee Road cars! A full dome and a coach! Very cool!

Who says spotless shiny engines are not prototypical anyway?






Sorry for the poor image quality. Was no way to get a sunny side shot without trespassing.

Bob, That dome car belongs to the outfit in Minnisota. Same ones that ran the 261.

I was looking at those engines again. That must be some long ski train to have that much power to pull it.
