Grand Entrance at Garnet

After waiting for almost an hour as I watched long shadows start to make their run for the mainline. Union Pacific 1943 finally emerges from the wall of Salt Cedar trees that line the railroad tracks between Garnet and West Indio. The Long Westbound passes the occasional Helper Pocket and the tri-weekly Amtrak Station at Palm Springs (Railroad location Garnet) as the train starts up the stringent grade territory as the train goes from a 1.13 percent grade to a much more difficult 1.95 percent grade whcih it will have to work up for around twenty to twenty-five miles.
