The two engines were making good time climbing the grade, but not for long, as there was a newly repaired section of the grade ahead
Actually, there was still a crew working on a couple of sections of track. The helper engine cut off and very gingerly crept over the newly repaired areas.
The road engine then followed with the train at a cautious pace
The section crew foreman was keeping a close watch on our progress
