The otherwise excellent March 12 Travel article “Colorado’s rail-to-slopes rarity” was marred by the use of the phrase “And then we were chugging up.” Modern trains do not “chug.” They roll, travel, speed, whiz or what-have-you along. They have not “chugged” for 60 years, with the exception of a few steam-powered tourist railroads and excursions.
