    Wow, that looks kinda of a stiff grade! It must be nice to see the sun down there more than once a month, like here!

    It certainly does add color to all the UP armour yellow seen around here!

    Like the different color of the numberboards on the lead diesel. And yeah, I woulda liked to seen the BNSF Dash-9 in the lead.....

    What is the grade here, trackage-wise?

    And as usual, great shots! Nice to see other than Big Aces and GE ACCTEs....
