Southern Pacific 6646
On December 11th, 1988 the W. Colton power desk assigned GP35 #6646 and SD39 #5317 as a helper engine set to work on Cajon Pass.
Here the pair of veteran engines work hard after having been added to the point of a Westbound manifest with SD45T-2R #6837 leading and that also included Denver & Rio Grande Western SD45's #5334 and #5326.
The train is just about to Hiland, the summit of the grade on the Palmdale Cutoff.
