Remarks & Notes

A four-unit set of SP power helps a stalled Santa Fe 991 train up the steep grade at tunnel 10 on Tehachapi Pass. The 991 was Santa Fe's hottest eastbound train over the mountain, and the dispatcher also wants it to keep moving so it doesn't clog the Tehachapi line, much of which is single-track.
