I am surprised no one has mentioned the original Cascades crossing of the Northern Pacific in 1887. It was a set of five switchbacks with grades of 5.6% in places. <br /> <br />Two locomotives (one at either end) would wrestle 5 cars at a time up and down the mountain. They had a pair of Baldwin 2-10-0 locomotives built specifically and used exclusively on the switchbacks. Eventually this track was bypassed by the Stampede Tunnel.
