Darren, where is the access point for this angle?

John,

As part of the Photographers special they stopped the train right here on the edge and we got out and climbed the slope on this side of the curve to setup to get these shots. I'm not sure one can get to this location "legally" from Rockwood. This location (Horseshoe Curve) is MP 469.9 and Rockwood is MP 469.0.

The Engineer actaully messed up so let's backup and try that again...

How's that you say, he was to blow off steam over the canyon

- - - ​

 

Why you ask? Start looking for that RAINBOW in the steam coming over the train

- - - ​

 

See the RAINBOW grow with each burst of steam...

​

 

As the train completes the pass the RAINBOW starts to fade away

RAINBOW Power!!!!!!!
