Hi Drew. Note that pix was taken looking esat towards town. You must have been satnding near the overhead signal bridge when the shutter was released.
Good pix of a train charging the hill. Must have been low on tonnage only having three ennges on the point, probably four units cut in for push.

Gary Smith.

Pretty pic that brings back memeories.


(somewhere in my own personal collection I have a pic of a train stuck in the snow at upper cascade on the west side of the slope. You can see snow built up all along the bolsters and trucks.)
