AMT 200, 157 |
| Description: |
Amtrak passing under a local access overpass [I-25 exit 6] about halfway up the Colorado side of Raton Pass. This was the only train I had seen on this line during my 2 day stay there. And although there is a lot of good photo locales, almost all access off the highways is impossible due to rampant private property restrictions. |

BNSF 9356 |
| Description: |
Working solo and with a little bit of sand and smoke, BNSF 9356 pushes hard and steady on the back of this coaler. The rest of her train snakes uphill before her. The 2 main lines [Joint Line] originally crossed over here. In 1919 the crossover was taken out and the two mains rerouted a bit to stay parallel but separate for that last couple miles to the divide. That reroute made for some beautiful curves that future [today's] railfans could use to photographic advantage!! |

| Description: |
It is 1:18 pm as this BNSF northbound glides down the #1 main towards Denver, while a southbound loaded coaler holds the #2 main in the 'sag' at Spruce. With the NB clear ahead the SB coaler will shortly resume its final 3 mile grind to the summit at Palmer Lake. There was once a crossover here when each mainline was operated separately by the ATSF and DRGW, but it was taken out after joint operations started way back in 1918! {ColoradoRailfan.com "Train Logs; A day on the Joint Line" has some good background info re the Joint Line..} |
