Windy Point Wrap Around

With the rear end of the train barely blocked by some Salt Cedar trees more than two and a half miles away at the crossovers at West Palm Springs, Union Pacific 1943 and company turn the corner at the informal location known as Windy Point (it's always windy here). The train is trying it's best to hold onto the little speed it gained from the sag at West Palm Springs but the winding curves and windy conditions will deplete the gains by the time the train reaches the intermediate signals at Fignal. Then it's back grinding at sub twenty mile per hour pace uphill towards the top of Beaumont.
