Rio Grande In Color Volume 8: Hauling Freight over the Great Divide
PRODUCT DETAILS
Hardcover with dust jacket, 128 pages, 11 x 8.5 in., Color photographs and captions.
On Rio Grande's Tennessee Pass, the Southern Pacific Central Corridor crossed The Great Divide, a formidable obstacle to east-west rail traffic, in the 1990s. A new locomotive, the GE AC4400CW, was introduced to tame the 3% grades, hauling massive tonnage 24/7 at 10,000+ feet! This included coal and taconite trains at 13,000+ tons, double-stack trains and a fleet of merchandise freights.
