This one's simple.. D&RGW (UP) Burnham Shops, Denver, CO
That's the Ski Train!
That dome car in the lower left is a remnant of the incomparable California Zephyr....
The Ski Train is stored at Burnham (one of UP's best-equipped heavy repair locomotive shops) during off-season.

On second thought, I shouldn't have said this was too simple, since now Scott's gonna give us one where we're gonna have to guess the place and name of the Russian Siberian Flyer....:p;)

And if this one had been posted while I was still awake, I'd have probably gotten it just as quite as Hemi! Knew exactly what/where when I saw it! I've got photos from INSIDE the facility, during a Rocky Mountain N Scale meet about 5-6 years ago, and a few more from the N Scale Collector convention 2006 in Denver.

I knew I had to act fast, in case Keith was online too!;)
But, there's a lot of Grande nuts out here in TB-land that would know this location.
