D&RGW At the Moffat Tunnel in Sept 1985

In September 1985 I captured on video this west bound freight at the east side of the Moffat tunnel. Before the west bound can depart it must wait for an empty coal extra to run around. Then watch as the four Tunnel Motors move from a dead stop on the grade. Turn up the sound for this!

Thank you so much for sharing this. You know that is my Dad Joe Nick Ornelas standing at the entrance of the Tunnel as the second train goes in to the Tunnel. He was section foreman at the time. So cool to see this.
