Remarks & Notes

The BN coal train seen arriving at Palmer Lake in my pervious submission had three BN SD40-2’s on the rear end giving a push from Denver. Here the rear end brakeman is riding the caboose platform, preparing to cut the helpers off of the train.

One artifact of the steam era that remains in use to this day; even modern AC traction locomotives need help on the biggest hills.
