On the rear of the Denver-based wreck train at Rocky, Colorado, on March 5, 2000, is a former Rio Grande heavyweight passenger car, and just ahead of it is a former troop sleeper. Both are support cars for the No. 030 50-ton derrick, a rebuilt former Rock Island machine, seen a few more cars forward. As the westbound train climbs into the Front Range of the Rockies, threatening storm clouds move in—most apropos for the occasion.
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
