SP8309 On The Point Eastbound Over Donner
Author: FiveChime

Possibly the last time an SP unit leads over the Hill.
3:15 through Alta, California with a UP unit powering a tie train with
flats, gons, and high gons loaded with new ties.

SD70ace's and GEVOs running strong here now.

Five Chime,

Shortly after the work train went east, we were treated SP 179 on the point of an eastbound MTY grain train. Here is a link to the thread with the photo from yesterday. I was excited about this too!

Great photo, great color. Even the SD40-2 looks like it belongs.
