After one heck of a run from Castle Rock to Larkspur, we fly down the road to Greenland, where we are given one great Roarin' runby as the steam train storms the Palmer Divide. We then join the HUGE escort the railfans gave the train as we sling around the sag, and into Palmer Lake where a quick whistle stop is made for everyone to catch their breath, and to let a northbound empty coal drag pass. Then over the top, and down the hill where we give you the rare sight of a steam train entering the property of the United States Air Force Academy. Next Stop, Colorado Springs.
