Wow! This is wonderful! The UP 1989 running with the Ski Train complete with the Rio Grand paint scheme and a fresh blanket of snow on a beautiful mountainside! PCA!
|
Ah, it wasn't just a rumor! Great shot, thanks for sharing!
|
Awesome! I can't put my finger on it, but something in the photo just seems right. :)
|
Great catch Dave, and well worth your efforts! It appears that the Ski Train equipment was painted in the "Anschutz Orange" version of Rio Grande gold.
|
This is a really fine photo, Dave.
|
Ok that is an awesome shot Dave!!
|
Beautiful shot Dave!
|
This is the stuff dreams are made of. Chris, UK.

AWESOME SCHEME WITH THE BACKGROUND!!!
|
Perfect shot for a post card. Solid work!
|
Beautiful shot.
|
Congrats on a very deserving photo of the week!
|
that is a priceless photo, well deserved POTW
|
nice work, this, i belive is the best POTW in a good month or so. I really love the composition. I think everyone can agree that this photo is one of the top winter time shots. And that UP unit almost looks like it was designed for the ski train. Excellent work dave, way to go.

NOW That's the proper use of a heritage unit
|
Outstanding!!! Love the colors and the scenery!!!
|
With out a doubt POTW! Very nice! This one is now my deskyop background!
|
Maybe they should paint all the Ski Train equipment in that scheme.

I can't be left off the comment list ... Dave, fantastic photo! I'm a little jealous, but glad someone tromped through the snow to get a nice, unique, first snap of this arrangement. Very well done.
|
Fantastic shot! Well done braving the conditions, well worth it.
|
Terrific shot of the Ski Train behind the DRGW Heritage unit. Wish I was there to see it. Nice shot!
|
Dave - Well done! Have you thawed out yet?!? I understand the Ski Train was delayed that day and you waited almost two hours to nail this gem. Bitter cold and windy that day. The late train helped with the low winter light shadows. I heard the Ski Train arrived Winter Park Ski Resort about 12:45 PM - way past the scheduled 9:30 AM arrival time. Thanks for sharing. We'll see this on an upcoming UP calendar, won't we?

I just keep coming back to this photo each day...FANTASTIC! I'm curious to know what the dam is in the background, too.
|
Viva La Rio Grande.

Wow! Thanks for going out in the cold to get that shot. Great location and framing!
|
Wow, Dave! Congrats on POTW!
|
They should take off the F40's and let the SD70ACe work the train. That lash-up looks a little odd...
