Remarks & Notes 
A fierce winter storm is raging atop Soldier Summit as this 84-car westbound coal train off the Utah Railway swings onto the Rio Grande mainline near Helper, four SD45's throttling up for the 2.4% grind up Price River Canyon. Sixty cars deep, six more locomotives--four SD45's and two SD39s--will shortly put their shoulder into the task.
