We’re not in Wisconsin anymore, Bossie! The “Bill Gates Special,” a chartered Wisconsin and Southern passenger train with a few added cars for good measure, pops out of the Moffat Tunnel at East Portal, Colorado, on October 2, 1998. During the long outing, the other WSOR E unit had mechanical issues and was set out, replaced by BNSF Dash 9 No. 1039. An unique power combination to say the least. Autumn color is turning to white during the change of seasons as snow falls on the Continental Divide in the background.
