Title: Union Pacific at Fields View count: 11 Rating: 5.0 (3 ratings) Description: High in the Cascade Mountains, a southbound Union Pacific mixed manifest pushes hard up the 1.7% grade at 20 mph through the slide at Fields. The Cascade Sub in Oregon is UPs longest continuous grade stretching 40 miles. Railroad workers have been forced to move this stretch of rails a handful of times because it is notorious for sliding down the mountain. Cinder ballast is used here for its exceptional interlocking qualities. Tags: , Author: unKannyvalley |
