Southern Pacific AC44CW #328, is just a few months old in early November of 1995 and still clean as it leads a coal train east on Tennessee Pass at the Deem Tunnel. Deem Tunnel was also called Pando tunnel as it was just east of the Pando siding. Within a year the SP ceased to exist and the Tennessee Pass line had less than two years before it was shut down.
