The inspection special rounds the curve at Terra Cotta and passes an eastbound coal train. Terra Cotta is nestled in the Smokey Hills west of Salina.
Nothing gets in the way of the Inspection Special, and thats the case with coal train CWEAX 13. UP 6936 would take on a new crew in 15 minutes at Salina.
As it continued on its special run, UP 6936 wasn't wasting any time moving through Hot Sulphur Springs.
On its way south out of Kremmling, UP 6936 had more than a few of us in hot pursuit.
UP 6936 and its special train approach Abilene, the home town of IKE.
After a quick crew change in Salina, the massive DD40X breezes through the small town of Soloman.
