John Danielson General All I can do is imagine how those bad boys sounded in what looks like an otherwise quiet scene. What a shot!!! 5/8/2012 10:54:02 PM
Wendy Crim General Fabulous! 5/9/2012 6:42:18 AM

Tim Darnell General What could be better? An over & under! ;-) 5/9/2012 7:39:14 AM
Alan Fricker General I'll bet those locos were going 60 easily. The sound would have been neat to hear. 5/9/2012 2:45:50 PM
Chris S General Starrucca is a special place, a true monument; this is a wonderful photo! 5/9/2012 8:11:23 PM
Jim Vivian General The haze/fog sets the mood. Great photo Fred. 5/10/2012 5:23:31 AM
Tom Beckett General Excellent mood shot. Been there may times in those conditions, hoping the fog would burn off!! Alan-they should not have been going more than 30, Starrucca had that for a speed restriction. Even without that, the train is just getting into a pretty steep climb up through Cascade Valley up to Gulf Summit. My guess is they were working pretty hard, and probably not making more that 20-25 MPH. It was a great show to see, though I did not get there on a regular basis til the mid 80's. By then it was CR SD 50's on the freights, and mostly B36's and GP 40's on the stacks. What could be better?? A set of C 628's on the D&H, and fall color!!! 5/11/2012 2:31:36 PM
