Here we see Union Pacific FEF-3 844 attempt to start a 15 car, 1000 ton train up a steep grade just out of 30th Street Station and towards Zoo Interlocking. After a few unsuccessful tries, I back the locomotive far enough out of the grade in order to gain the sufficient speed to make it to the top of the grade. Enjoy the wheelslip action, all of which could have been avoided by keeping the sander on, but was effectively controlled to make the climb more exciting =)

Just a note: This is the HUD Version of the locomotive. Operational characteristics for the HUD version are not as realistic as the Advanced Version of the locomotive. This means that the HUD Version has somewhat less power than its Advanced Version counterpart.
