[quote user="Lone Wolf and Santa Fe"]On Cajon Pass the Santa Fe has several locomotives on the head end of each train. For most of the climb that is enough but when the east bound trains reach the steepest part of the hill which is right before the summit they add pushers to the very end of the train to help.[/quote] That must be for main 3, the original track. The main 3 has a 3% grade from Cajon to Summit. All other track has 2.2% grade. If help is needed on these tracks it is needed from San Bernadino. Trains had an interesting map of the month: [url]http://trn.trains.com/~/media/files/pdf/map-of-the-month/trnm0811_acajonpass.pdf[/url] Regards, Volker
