Chased this train wb on May 13, 1978 ... it had a variety of freight cars ... but can't remember anything about the purpose of train.

Or, more braking power (but chosen from the most reputable looking home-road equipment which was handy at the time.)

Very nice photos. Picture two is climbing the grade between Green River (817) and Peru (825), looks to me like its just about to the summit at Peru just west of the old station of Riview.

Ryan is correct in that this view is near the summit of Peru Hill.
