Joel Akers, Mike Danneman and I left early this morning to go along the Moffat line in search of the every elusive train. Our efforts were paid well, saw a total of seven trains. Please note that there are a lot of pictures in this sequence and I have broken it up into three pages. Links to all three parts are at the top and bottom of each page.

Part I (current)	Part II	Part III

Click on picture for larger image A Track Maintainer high rail got on the line at Tolland and eventually went to Winter Park through the Moffat Tunnel. Here it is passing the signal at the west end of the Eat Portal siding.

A Coal train with five engines had exited the tunnel about 20 minutes previously. The fans are still exhausting a lot of smoke. The high rail waited until most of the smoke had cleared before entering the tunnel. Click on picture for larger image
