15th June 1997

It's 09.56 and this east-bound manifest train is pulling itself up hill with all its might. Five units on the front keep it moving. SD40-2U no. 5183, SD40-2 no. 7033, SD-40Us nos. 5086 and 5103, and GP60M no. 107 work hard on this BNSF (Santa Fe) train. In due course the train will pass by on the tracks in front of me.
