Remarks & Notes

Dropping downgrade out of Tunnel 11, UP 8812 leads an El Paso, Texas bound empty autorack closer to the end of its trek over Cuesta Pass and into North Chorro as it slows to a crawl. The train will slink down to the south end of the siding where it will hold the main and wait for Amtrak 14 to charge up the grade and meet it.
