Mountain Assault

After meeting the MWCRVC 18, BNSF's Modesto to Barstow priority manifest train begins what would be one of the loudest and smokiest hill restarts I've ever seen and heard. As it begins it's pull out of Bealville during sunset. With BNSF 8179 on the point of this massive 7,000 foot train loaded down with boxcars filled with perishables from the Central Valley heading to Barstow for reclassification.
