Clark Gillis General interesting how EMD units dominated the "hill" for SP back then. now with UP, it seems the the G.E. units are now the doing the lions share of the hill. 5/7/2018 11:52:40 AM
Bruce Flaws General Thanks, Clark. There was nothing quite like a WB coal train roaring through Truckee late on a cold winter's night with 6 SD45s on the point, 6 more mid-train, and a couple more on the rear. Some tunnel motors and some not. Sometimes a few SD9Es for good measure. Three crews, run 8, and big EMDs wailing away! You could hear them all the way up Coldstream Canyon. 5/7/2018 7:53:09 PM
