Three Rio Grande EMD SD40T-2 Tunnel Motors push on a westbound Southern Pacific taconite ore train at Kyune, Utah, climbing the eastern grade of Soldier Summit. Passing the helpers is lone Utah Railway EMD SD40 No. 9008 that is headed back to Martin after pushing a Utah Railway coal train up the grade. The middle Tunnel Motor is painted in SP speed lettering, but is still sublettered DRGW 5368.
Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.
