Time and Elevation

Numbers add up.

 

Twenty-seven minutes after seeing start it up the hill down in Benson, Union Pacific 6066 has made it the nine miles up to the top of the hill at Mescal gaining a total of four-hundred and ninety-three feet in elevation in the process. The four ACs total kept the train of Crown Imports (Benicia), Coiled Steel (Pittsburg) and Gas Products (Port of Stockton) to name a few for Northern California at a good pace as it the train follows the setting sun. Once behind me the train will begin to pick up speed, as it follows the El Paso and Southwestern alignment downhill towards Vail, as the decent into the Tucson Valley is about to begin for this heavy manifest train.
