Remarks & Notes 
Cuesta Conquered

Amtrak's Transcontinental Steam Excursion crests the summit of Cuesta Grade, just north of San Luis Obispo, California, on April 27, 1977. In the process of conquering this grade, the big Lima 4-8-4 knocked decades of soot loose from the tunnel ceilings, making this engine look like the workhorse it is – and making that washing it got two days earlier in Los Angeles seem futile.
