In the Summer of 2000 and the Winter and Spring 2001 'Machines of Iron' crews followed the Union Pacific line through the Blue Mountains from Huntington to Hinkle.
14,000 ton grain and soda ash trains are lifted up the 2.2% grade at 25 mph by 36,000 plus hp through such places as Telocast, La Grande, Hilgard, Motanic, and Meacham.
Before all the mergers the Blue Mountains were the steepest grades on the Union Pacific.
Over the years technology has changed but the Blues haven't. Lots of 'wings' and snow. This is mountain railroading at its finest.
