Thanks to the detector at roughly MP 100 and ATCS, I found it quite easily in sunlight at Buttes (milepost ~95) http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_talgo_buttes_co_11_apr_2013_001.jpg.html 52847 Going away - just a pretty good shot down the side of the train from the control cab end. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_talgo_buttes_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52850 As you can see, there's a storm over Pikes Peak and the Springs. This will be the last sun I get until the north end of CS. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_179_coloradosprings_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52853 Coming through the Bijou crossovers in Colorado Springs and meeting two southbound BNSF manifests. It's really trying to rain or snow or something. It's Colorado weather - it can't make up its mind. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_79_coloradosprings_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52856 Here's the second of the two BNSFs at Uintah. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/bnsf_6558_coloradosprings_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52859 BNSF 6558 - a brand new ES44C4 - leads the second of two southbounds past the Talgo set in downtown Colorado Springs http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_179_greenland_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52862 Approaching Greenland in some pretty decent sun. Main 1 is in the foreground, and I-25 in the background. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_179_larkspur_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52865 A total grab shot at Larkspur turned out to be my favorite for the day. It also turned out to be last light - the clouds covered everything over by Tomah, and by Castle Rock it was trying to rain again. http://www.drgw.net/gallery/v/news/AmtrakTalgo-11Apr2013/amtk_talgo_larkspur_co_11_apr_2013_000.jpg.html 52868 And a going away shot of that - ahem - unique cab car. I think honestly it might be growing on me a bit.
