Cascade Grime
A set of 4 Union Pacific helpers just got done shoving a grain train up the 40+ mile grade of Pengra Pass in the Oregon Cascades and is now coming back down to the bottom to help shove another southbound that is patiently waiting in Oakridge. While in the rotation of motors on the system, these motors generally work as helpers in the Oregon Cascades till inspection time comes around every 90- 184 days and then replaced with other motors. With numerous trips a day shoving trains up the hill, through 21 tunnels and several snowsheds each run, it is not uncommon to find these units covered in grime towards the end of their session on the Cascade Line. The more darker color adds a different touch from the average yellow you see everyday through here. Taken at the well know bridge over highway 58 and Salt Creek. Heather Siding.
