They had been reported "smoking like a steam engine" on the way into LA - guess they were not reliable to continue the trips.

Forget what the power is but it's not the E's. Their SD70M's.

Christian Date: 09/28/01 08:57 Blame it on Cuesta Grade? Author: Paul_H Too bad UP didn't use helpers over Cuesta Grade. But that's just hindsight, I guess. My son Andrew saw the train go past his school here in AtasCal at about 2:40 PM just as his bus was pulling out of the yard. All he saw were the coaches, not the locos. Me, I didn't see squat because I was at work.
