One of my most favorite unit combos became a reality on Saturday's H76. An EMD SD70ACe tied to a GE ES40DC. With around 50 loaded and heavy cars, (mostly filled with sand) the train makes a slow and steady climb up the step grade all the way out of East Bangor - The units making sure to succeed. After running into the 10 mph zone, the train slowly crawls into Portland, sparks flying from the wheels.

P.S. My VERY overdue +400 sub special is under way now, keep on watch for the video!
