BN 5576 South loaded coal UFIX cars for HL&P, MP225 near Beshoar, Colo; Oct 13, 1993_

Coal destined for the Houston Light & Power generating station at Smither's Lake, Texas, heads down the Twin Mountain Sub behind elephant style GEs and EMDs.

 

That's the twin Spanish Peaks towering in the distance. They are part of Sangre de Cristo Mountains (Spanish for "Blood of Christ") and the southern most subrange of the Rocky Mountains.
