The descending grade from Beaumont eases to just 0.4% at West Palm Springs, and if you leave the "set" of air on the train it will stall going downhill! So these units are powered up a bit, but will soon be back into dynamics for the 1.4-1.9% descent to Garnet. SP 7623 later became IHB 4011. Date of photo approximate. |
