Western Pacific SWG between Pittville Rd and Halls Flat

The SWG (Santa Fe-Western Pacific-Great Northern) rolls on tangent track across high elevation meadows on Western Pacific's Highine. A brace of 4 newish U30-Bs, lead by the 763, all in silver and orange paint, roll PNW tonnage toward Beiber where it will be handed over to the GN. The power may run all the way through to Klamath Falls or be swapped out at Beiber for GN power depending on power availability. I used an orange filter to bring out the clouds and you might notice it almost nearly obliterated the orange mid-body stripe on the locomotives.
