ATSF 8784 East lite engs Abo Canyon, NM; Dec 7, 1985_
Lite engines head upgrade through the heart of Abo Canyon. This crew had cut off their train at Sais and were heading east to assist another eastbound that had stalled in the canyon just east of here. The consist is a U36C-SD45u-and a pair of C30-7s - man those were the days of variety! You never knew what you were gonna get. And I had a most enjoyable mild Winter day spent hiking the Canyon and soaking it all in - something you can not do today.
