| Remarks & Notes |
| A Joshua tree and old UP code line are silhouetted by the low desert sun at 4207 ft Cima Summit as a heavy eastbound manifest rolls over the crest after climbing more than 2000 ft in the 18 miles from the base of the hill at Kelso. It was cold and windy here and the big train operating 4x1 was working hard to make the 2.2% ruling grade, one of the West's oft overlooked heavy duty mountain railroad. Luck was with us as we drove up with 30 min of daylight left on this Sunday afternoon in the high desert. |
