Steve, These Tacoma Rail SD70ACe-P4 locos are quite nice to behold. It seems that not many of the RR's have exceptional paint schemes, but TR does. Thanks for sharing.

Great photo, history, and remarks.

Steve, nice shot and caption! Milwaukee used their small fleet of 2-6-6-2's on this hill and I wonder how many cars they were rated during the steam era?

Neat perspective. I did not know any of the former Milwuakee main line was left.

Steve, just curious if the new bridge will lessen the grade any? What a poor choice of locomotive to try and accomplish what Tacoma Rail wants. Obviously they got a really good deal. Reporting marks are either TMBL or TRMW. TR is the Tomahawk Railway in Wisconsin.

Looks like the signals are trying to encourage the crew and engines: "Come on, guys. You can do it!"
