With a snow-covered Continental Divide looming above, the Rio Grande Ski Train heads for the Moffat Tunnel at East Portal, Colorado, on February 16, 2008. Carrying the markers today’s train is the customary Ansco private car No. 100, the “Kansas,” which was once Rio Grande business car “Wilson McCarthy.”
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.
