Yeah, something like that. When did SP start using the top of the pass for officer training, Wes? The trackage rights had to have been in effect prior to that, weren't they, although I don't recall that they initially ran that way other than the E.P.T.

At some point SP tried running a RV Coast train that way, so this must be a picture of it. I don't recall the specifics of it, but have sent a query to someone who might. Stay tuned . . .
