Very cool shot Jim. Is this a normal procedure?

Yes. There are several significant grades on the line east out of Grand Rapids, and by the time they reach the peak of the last one, they are typically going no more than 5-10mph. Often times they'll use whatever BNSF power is available in GR, SD70macs, gevos, ACEs, etc. I'm guessing none were available on this day. Thanks for the comment, Tim.
