Arent those's the units from the Colorado Ski Train? I can see a faded Rio Grande type logo on the front of #106. :S

Yes, they brought the whole kit 'n' kaboodle up, gave them a quick spray over and renumbered the engines. They then ran them on the canyon tour for the better part of last year's season (click the Train No. for those pix). Last year they were running the whole trainset with all three locomotives, this year they only seem to be using 105 and 106, and the trainset is interspersed maybe 40% with other cars, mostly lettered for MRLX (Mid America Rail Car Leasing). Don't know what the story is with that. Saw 2 or 3 of the Ski Train cars sitting in Steelton Yard, maybe (hopefully) others are in the paint shop getting their "real" AC paint as has been rumored to happen since last year.
