JLSag
Title:  JLSag
Description:  It is 1:18 pm as this BNSF northbound glides down the #1 main towards Denver, while a southbound loaded coaler holds the #2 main in the 'sag' at Spruce. With the NB clear ahead the SB coaler will shortly resume its final 3 mile grind to the summit at Palmer Lake. There was once a crossover here when each mainline was operated separately by the ATSF and DRGW, but it was taken out after joint operations started way back in 1918! {ColoradoRailfan.com "Train Logs; A day on the Joint Line" has some good background info re the Joint Line..}

Title:  High plains panorama

It runs just a little way out in the plains, not really in the mountains, though even in the foothill regions, the elevation gets pretty high. Were looking toward the east as the train approaches Palmer Lake
