When I was there (Around 5PM in 2008) I saw the eastbound CZ with 2 P42s, a eastbound intermodal with 6685 C44AC-CTE, 6204 C44AC, and 5692 C45AC-CTE. An eastbound coal with 6590 C44AC-CTE and 6801 C44AC. Plus I saw two more coal trains, one west one east but to far off to see the power. I was there for about 10 minutes.
here is a pic of the west portal of the moffat tunnel in winter park. http://jwdp.rrpicturearchives.net/showP ... id=1678861
