Union Pacific passenger special speeds through Crescent Village on its way to Grand Junction October, 10th with The Spirit Locomotive #1943 on the point. The weather was spectacular in every way. The front range was experiencing heavy drizzle and rain and near freezing temperatures acting in an upslope condition through Eldorado Canyon upon arriving at 7-8 thousand feet turned to ice on everything. A light dusting of snow, green pines, and freezing fog banks made for a spectacular setting to show off Union Pacific’s silver and green Veterans Heritage locomotive.
