Description: |
An eastbound at the Nolan Tunnels running "wrong main". Crossovers built at strategic locations gives dispatchers the flexibility to run fast trains around slower trains. In this case, Amtrak #6 passed this slower moving freight. |

Rio Grande 5372 |
Description: |
The Rio Grande had a hard time keeping its locomotives clean. In the numerous tunnels, exhaust from the hard working locomotives would accumulate on the sides quickly, making for a oily greasy looking engine. |
