Fall in the Rockies - a cloudless day greets helpers GP40 3093, GP35s 3047 and 3050 and SD40T-2s 5387 and 5393 and they wait for the next eastbound at Minturn nearly 30 years ago.

With surrounding mountains almost merging with the leadened sky, 3093, 3108 and 3073 approaches Troublesome siding on a westbound freight in January 1982.

A relatively small helper set, comprising of 3093, 3047, 3050, 5387 and 5393, prepares for the big push up to Tennessee Pass on eastbound #148 at Minturn in September 1981.
