As far as wear and tear on the locomotives is concerned: How many years did these locomotives see much more abusive service running in reverse on the Monarch Branch? What is seen in this footage is really nothing out of the ordinary on a 4% grade. Heck the train isn't even tonnage for the 488 and you can tell by watching that the engineer is responding cautiously and carefully to every squirrely moment.
