MP 3150, BarstowTX
There's some pretty good hills and curves on the Baird and Toyah Subs in West Texas, but not around these parts. This is near Barstow, just east of Pecos, TX, as the eastbound EF (the only daily train along with FE at this time that ran between El Paso and Ft. Worth) cruises thru the barren landscape with 6 EMD's from both the Mop and the SP.
30 years later the rails here were seeing about 20 or more thru trains/day.
