I had the privilege of riding over Saluda Grade in the fall of 1968. Rode the remnant of the Carolina Special from Knoxville TN to Tryon on the NC/SC line where we got off to board the westbound/northbound train for the return trip. Even though the crew added a second FP-7 at Ashville, they still seemed to have a rough time keeping the two-car train under control going downhill (lots of brakeshoe smoke!). After our decent, I recall looking back from the rear vestibule of the coach, and seeing the tracks rise up behind us like a highway or road headed up hill. Amazing! <br /> <br />John W.
