Curtis Hill
Doug Harrop Photography • October 5, 1994
A fresh GE C44-9W leads a Santa Fe container train eastbound at West Quinlan, Oklahoma on October 5, 1994. The train is descending the 1% Curtis Hill grade.
This route through the red clay hills of north central Oklahoma was becoming a bottleneck on Santa Fe Transcon. In 1995, it would be double tracked, completed just in time for the BNSF merger.
