Remarks & Notes

Skiers aboard the D&RGW ski train are happy and oblivious to the snowy conditions of highways as they safely return to Denver on Feb. 26, 1984. The train is between Tunnels 3 and 2 near Plainview, Colo., still 1,500 feet in elevation above Denver Union Station. The steam heater car sandwiched between the F units was rebuilt from a former Alco PB unit.

The reason railpictures.net has captured my imagination for so many years. Images of quality and distinction, in other words, amazing railroad photography.

The Winter Park Ski Train has taken generations of Denverites to the slopes. Started by the Rio Grande and now operated by Amtrak, it's the best way to get there.
