hahahaha, lol . Well im a photographer as well, so i love looking at photos like these
I missed it going pass my house ,I was in Cheyenne all weekend.
Moffat goes past my place also. There really is not a good place to photo Moffat in town except that curve by Arvada Crossing or Leyden. I feel if your going to photograph the Ski Train-- ahhemm I mean the "Winter Park Express" it must without fail be shot in mountainous territory among its natural habitat.
Shooting fish in a barrel is not for me. Anyone can shoot in a yard or along a rail crossing. One must venture beyond her or his comfort zone and go forth and hike that extra 3 miles for that one shot that makes the whole event worthwhile!

Awesome, id love to share them.. but just warning im a portrait/glamour photographer. So seeing this trains takes my breath away.. Im used to working with people all the time, and stuff like this is just awesome to me!!
Great videos, Eric, thanks for sharing them. It looks like you had a nice sunny day to be outside (as opposed to where I am in cloudy upstate NY). And I'm glad that you're getting the little fella into trains at a young age. He looks like he was enjoying himself.
seeing these Ski... er Winter Park train photos reminds me of my trips to Winter Park to ski, and how I always wanted to arrive by train. Thanks Erik.

Glamour Shots by Deb!! hahahhah classic
David Moffat, from his roll top desk in the little bank in Colorado Springs, managed to
punch a really big hole in a mountain, and annoy a once large and powerful railroad,
the D&RGW. When I and my brother drove up to the first Rollins Pass tunnel at the east portal, it was collapsed then, and that was quite some years ago.
A M A Z I N G!!! Those are some great photos.
Excellent photos & videos to tell the story.

I don't Submit for publishing and do it solely for the purpose of reference for possible artwork in the future and a hobby. I'm thinking an original Ski Train subject using my photos and models to back date to the 1960's or 1970's.
Off my soap box.
Thanks guys I do thank you for the kind compliments. It means a lot. Keeps me going back.
Number 6 eastbound California Zephyr at Sand Creek Junction near Commerce City, Colorado, Fall 2014. The background in this case is a feast for the eyes; Suncor refinery adds an impressive busy vertical element framed by the poles neatly around the horizontal streamliner stretching out of view. The low evening light softened the tones and contrast.
Weather; it was cold and dangerous on 72 the morning of the chase.
You simply can not ignore the stunning scenery and anytime you can mix steam and snow capped mountains; heavenly! Worth the hike!

Something to ponder, Erik: Any chance of touching base with someone at Winter Park and seeing how possible it would be to get the "Ski Train" running again? Maybe coordinate a Season or Weekends Only pass for Train riders?
Could riders somehow get to resorts other than Winter Park when the train was running regularly? (Shuttle to and from the station/drop off perhaps?) Could the Train take riders to the Airport as well?
