A summer Ski Train exits Tunnel 1, east of Plainview, Colorado, on July 29, 2000. The train is pulled by a pair of Rio Grande GP60s, and led by the 3155. The Ski Train was operated during the summer months for mountain bikers and hikers, and occasional concerts and festivals in the cooler high country at Winter Park.
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.
