Wind chill brought the temperatures down to just above 0...the weather was completely overcast...it was a Saturday afternoon...Perfect time to go railfanning right?! In this 2-part series, we get southbound and northbound trains alike as they thunder and roar up and through Palmer Lake. In Part 1, start off with a southbound BNSF freight as it begins its 25 mile decent towards Colorado Springs. Then a northbound BNSF empty drag comes around the famous curve just below town, then rounds the corner. From here, we start some practice pacing as we follow the DPUs through the summit. After, we go the other way with a loaded BNSF drag as it struggles to achieve the top. More action coming up in Part 2! Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!!
