Great set; I especially like the El Train (is that anything like El Captain? ).

El is short for elevated, in case you were serious, if it was a joke...hahahahaha

The eastbound California Zephyr following the Colorado River and crossing under I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. (All photos May 2015)

Out the back (Rail Fan) window of the last car (sleeper berth car) in the California Zephyr's 'consist' - still in Glenwood Canyon following the Colorado River and I-70.

Exiting Red Canyon as the California Zephyr climbs the sparsely populated Western Slope of Colorado.

Entering the southwest end of Gore Canyon on the upper Colorado. Gore Canyon is about 40-45 miles as the crow flies from where the Colorado river starts as just a trickle atop the Continental Divide. Gore Canyon has Grade V white water rafting and was a particularly tough section of the rail line to build. Note the tunnel entrance in the distance.

The west portal of the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel that lets trains go under, instead of over, the Continental Divide. The high point in the tunnel is at 9239 ft.
Immediately off to the right on the other side of the train is bottom of the slopes for the Winter Park ski area.
