Remarks & Notes |
Winter Park Hill This manifest from Grand Junction is heavily laden with coal as it battles the 2% grade of Winter Park Hill near King's Crossing. This is often the spot where eastbound trains will stall if they do not have enough power for the hill. This was one of the last spot on the D&RGW where the giant steam L-132 articulateds were operated. They pushed trains from Tabernash to the west portal of the Moffat Tunnel. |
