SP sure got there money's worth with the SD9s they purchased. Cool to see 5 of them in helper service. Seeing the entire train is also good for modelers. Thanks for posting

That posting was great! Very nice P3 horn and nice display of SD9s in helper service.

Didn't like the blinker replacement of original SP light package but probably best
possible at the time.

Regards, Jim Evans

How far would the mid-trains be in the train? I'm guessing they were needed for Rice hill with not much else going on to the north. Roseburg to the south, Cow Creek Canyon to the south.

Interesting to see the cut of BCR and CN cars in there. Interesting to see the whole train for that matter.

Excellent. The WCTR cars outnumbered the SP ones for once. Also didn't look like the headend or helpers were digging in that hard. Great show.

The area around Drain is fairly mild so the engines wouldn't have been working
too hard. The helpers were needed for Rice Hill, which this train would have already
traversed, and even more so for the Divide grade which is a few miles ahead.
Great video, Thanks!
