The quiet town of San Luis Obispo, California is nestled firmly in the hills of the central coast. It is known for it's quaint downtown, outdoor lifestyle, and being the home of the Cal Poly Mustangs. On this afternoon, the quiet activities of San Luis Obispo are broken by the roar of three GE locomotives dragging the oil cans up Cuesta Pass. This train crew will tackle steep grades and tight curves as they take this train to the oil loading facility in San Ardo.
