The train also offers a spectacular view of the Gross Rervoir Dam. |

The cuts for the portals of three different tunnels can be seen in this picture. The portal of the middle tunnel is directly visible. |
|
This picture illustrates just how close some of the tunnels are together. Here we are exiting the middle tunnel in the above picture and about to enter the next. |
|
Each tunnel brings us a little closer to the front range. |
|
As the engines enter Tunnel #8 we get a sneak peak of Colorado's plains on the other side. This is the tunnel which makes the transition between the front range and South Boulder Creek Canyon. |
|
Upon emerging from the tunnel, we are presented with the expansive view of the plains north of Denver. |
|
As we progress farther south along the front range, the Denver skyline comes into view. |
|
It looks like folks on the south side of Denver may be getting a summer shower. |
|
Here, we are about to enter Tunnel #1, the first and last tunnel on the eastern end of the tunnel district. |
|
As we emerge from Tunnel #1, we are led across Coal Creek. |
