TUNNEL #29

Looking at some random downloads, realized a common theme was that Tunnel #29 is The. Cutest. Tunnel.

The 2% grade from Denver up to the Moffat Tunnel crawls through South Bend Canyon (along South Bend Creek) with superfluous tunnels and a surfeit of sharp curves, thanks to the mandate of then-Chief Engineer H.A. Sumneso who surveyed the Moffat Route's well-nicknamed "tunnel district" at bountiful π/1 ratio of rail to "as the crow flies" distance as he tried every trick not to make it steeper than 2%

A blasted rock bore barely 78 feet in length, tight-clearance Tunnel 29 on the Moffat Route is at milepost 36.38 and sandwiched between one of Sumneso's super-tight 12° cruves and the "curved bridge with no name" over South Bend Creek (which is officially named "Bridge 36.45" after it's milepost location) The feature on the creek's right bank seems to be locally nicknamed the Gibraltar Cliffs, from whence railfans look down on the tiny trains below.

The cutest tunnel? Yep. Did I mention the Ski Train?

McKeen and Harriman sketched this up on a napkin together, and part of the reason for so many unique features is that Harriman and McKeen were doing a little bit of self dealing, and were in the porthole business together, with a patent monopoly! (Hence the port holes...)

Harriman's personal venture profited from every single car he ordered his railroads to purchase of course, so the biggest criticism of the McKeen cars is that they were too expensive (they were). Harriman used the cars to replace some entire passenger trains as a justification to shareholders for the expense. _

Rory Litwin 1905 McKeen Railmotor.The McKeen Railmotor was a 6-cylinder self-propelled railcar or railmotor.

When McKeen Company of Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A., first unveiled the car in 1905, the McKeen was among the first engines with a distillate-fueled motor.

Classic! I think I had a Daylight Sales tee with that as a design.

As part of the celebration of Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal’s 50th Anniversary, cab units from the three original tennant railroads were posted next to each other to recreate a popular PR / postcard photo from the pre-Amtrak days. From left to right are Southern Pacific E9A 6051, Union Pacific E9A 951 and Santa Fe F7A 347C on May 6, 1989. The SP and ATSF diesels are owned by the California State Railroad Museum, and the UP’s E-unit is part of that road’s historic fleet.

Patrick Dirden "ANPMI at Martinez" It's been a long day for the crew of the ANPMI (North Platte to Milpitas, CA Autos). Between delays at the Roseville Yard, detouring trains at Haggin Junction, and broken down train in Benicia, the crew is running against the clock. The crew had to wait for a disabled intermodal train to clear before finishing it's switching duties at the Automobile facility in Benicia. The crew also had to assist the disabled train. These delays pushed a usually easy run from Roseville to Milpitas into a rough run. The train, passing Martinez, finally called it quits in Oakland, and had a patch crew take it the remainder of the way to Milpitas. https://flic.kr/p/SprcEF

THE CANCER GAMES:

May the odds be forever in your favor!

But  your odds of surviving drop significantly  if:

>You live in Radioactive City, Pocatello Idaho,

>You eat food produced with Radioactive Fertilizers (Radioactive Foods).

>You live anywhere in Southeastern Idaho’s 140,000 square miles of Phosphate/Uranium fields.

>You drink waters from any stream or water source contaminated by processed uranium materials stored all across the western USA on the UPRR (Union Pacific Rail Road) that leaches into every water crossing.

Enjoy all the fine food we provide for you.

Florida is now the major producer of Radioactive Fertilizers in the USA. Idaho is scared they will go to jail for killing and destroying millions of people and children’s lives.
