On a mid November day, the mercury is hovering around 25 degrees as the sun slowly rises over the tops of the Coconino pine trees. In the distance, the sound rumbling of heavy machinery begins to get louder, and louder. Soon, the sound becomes identifiable as General Electric made locomotives. Here, two of these 4,400 horsepower locomotives slowly move through the grade out of Flagstaff on this double stack train. Crawling at about 20 MPH, this train, bound for the On-dock Terminal of Southern California (Long Beach, Calif.), is carrying containers full of grain products to be exported to Asian markets.
