Union Pacific's Plummer turn with a GP-39 and GP-60 for power, easing in to the small hamlet of Manito, Washington, on the Union Pacific's Plummer branch... Manito is a Junction with the original Union Pacific(OWR&N) route into Spokane Washington. This branch at one time was part of the Milwaukee roads trans continental passenger route, Shared track with the UP from Manito to Spokane, Washington... I sure would loved to have seen a Milw 4-8-4 or 4-6-4 pulling this grade with a long string of passenger cars in tow...
