Western Pacific eastbound TOF at Phillips

There is lots of power here - 14,050 hp provided by the GP35-U23B-GP40-GP40-U30C lash up. The hot TOF speeds past the double searchlight signals and the summer-dried grasses at the west end of Phillips siding south of Sacramento, CA. With a train of trailers on flat cars, the train is at track speed as it passes the fence posts standing along the edge of the right of way.
