Less than 30 days away from the UP-MP-WP merger, This is a southbound BN connection train. BN once sent so much tonnage towards WP that WP had operated 4 daily trains (about 7 total on the WP 4th Sub~ Highline). By this date BN is aware of the merger and is fully opposed to it. BN is so unhappy that they have cancelled the run thru power agreement at Bieber. WP had to scramble to reactivated stored U30Bs that have always been plagued with breakdowns. BN grew closer to SP and began to blass Espee with a lot more southbound traffic.

The former waterline to a water plug for steam engines can be seen on the hillside.
