An eastbound Union Pacific coal train, led by Chicago & North Western AC4400CW No. 8818, drops down the two-percent grade out of Tunnel 15 and is about to enter Tunnel 14, near Crescent, Colorado, on March 30, 2002. The rear of the train is still in Tunnel 17, while the mid-train DPUs are on a fill approaching Tunnel 16 at the top of the photo. The large cut is the former Tunnel 17, now daylighted, and this horseshoe is in a location called South Draw on the former Rio Grande “Tunnel District.”
