Interesting info...Do you have any kind of grade info for the one
east out of Carbon Junction(Bocea Hill). 498 really was down on its knees, and we even caught a slipping sequence in the film. Also why was it called Bocea Hill. Is there a place named Bocea?? Its a really significant grade from what I could tell!!! Not real long, but looks really steep.
