I want to make sure that all who watch this video know I'm NOT taking credit for filming this video. It was shot by WB Video Proudctions (http://www.railfanvideo.com/catalog/vie wall.aspx). I have no intent of infrenging on somebodys copyright. I only wish to share these clips with fellow railfans who appreciate these shots for what they are.

Now that I've placed my disclasmer, here we go:

Here's a couple of runbys of trains traversing the front range of the Rocky Mountains west of Denver, Co.

The hoppers and gondolas look like they are completely covered in black carbon exhaust from the diesel engines.

Not suprising given the amount of tunnels on this line.

@epistte No, it's an SD50.

[epistte]

@silicon212 Is the second loco of the first train a tunnel motor?

[BrodyFarmBoy]

But I wonder what an SD50T-2 would look like....MMMMMM

[Trainman11185]

I like the Nathan M3 horn on that locomotive

[silicon212]

never mind on that last comment ...

[silicon212]

Those are SD50s, not tunnel motors.

That train featured crossing Simms Street I'm guessing is the same one that runs across Wadsworth Boulevard at about 64th. Those tracks run right behind my friend's backyard there along Alta Vista Drive & it was great seeing trains that close up, especially at night they would just shake everything.

I love those solid sets of Grande Tunnel motors. That's how a coal train on the front range should look!
