Messed up switch... |
Description: |
What way is this switch lined? Well, After a northbound went by, I thought it would be cool to get a shot of the switch lining itself for the local to come south. The local is in the background there. |

The Rock Train |
Description: |
The Rock Train (RPUPU) makes it's first trip of 2009. A friend and I ventured to Parkdale last month and saw coal hoppers stored in the loop used by the rock train and we were EXTREMELY happy to see the Rock Train had returned! This means more than just the Royal Gorge scenic train goes through the Royal Gorge! |
