A stack train from Lubbock, TX to Thenard (Southern California On-dock Terminal), CA is fighting gravity as the three 4,400 HPs locomotives, and two more on the rear, tackle the 1.5% grade of Goffs Hill. From Needles to Goffs, 30 miles, this stack train will do just about 17 MPH the whole way up the hill as the motors scream to keep this 12,000 ton train moving.
