Moffat Tunnel Colors |
Description: |
The season shows itself in all its glory. I waited two hours and saw nothing and had to get back. Never been up here, but I really want to catch a train coming out of the tunnel from here. This was taken about half a mile up Rollins Pass Road. |

Engine Problems |
Description: |
Engineer on the empty said his computer showed the engine would not load, so the engineer and conductor of the empty checked it out as a favor, they are shown here trying to get the engine started as it was dead. No luck and Ft Worth Mechanical said to drag it to Denver this way. The load was tied down waiting for a van, so handbrakes were set! |
