Meet at Brant, CA
UP 4125 meets 4929
With the UP 4125
safely in the siding at Brant, the IGSAP, with the UP 4929 on the point
picks up speed. You can see the head ends meet in this shot, and by the
time the eb train reached me, they were running with a full head of steam.
Probably in the 50 - 55 mph range. It was a lot faster than I thought the
downhill trains would be going on this side of Cima. It isn't as steep
on the eastern slope, but I was surprised by the speed. (This was not the
only train of the day running like this, as I would find out as the day
moved on.)
