The big picture at Foley overlook
Posted by NathanK5LA on Monday, October 20, 2008 6:24 PM

 I made a quick trip to Foley yesterday morning to see what was left of the foilage. I had a previous commitment that prevented me to getting any other pictures Sunday but this one was well worth the  64 mile trip to FO. The train had a helper ahead added and the standard one on the rear of the 144 car train added after the rear helper wan't enough. It took over 9 minutes from the time the train came into view far right of the photo until the helper was out of site in the far left. What a long slow grind to the summit at sandpatch.
 
Enjoy, Tom
