Title:  SP 8769
Description:  As you sit in the car on this cool, clear Saturday a headlight appears...an eastbound with reefers and autoracks. So you step out for a shot, and as you frame the yard and the snow capped mountains you decide to give chase. So let's step back to 1978 and take a trip up Beaumont Pass with SP 8769.
