So is this on the flat before, gravity hill or on the flat area before whiplash curves. Nice, Sea of Sage around both pairs.

I was hoping to get a good angle of the Eureka and Glenbrook heading to Lava w/the normal passenger service pulled by 489 on the above loop of Lava, but that was the first day run of the Eureka and Glenbrook and it had its delays back in Antonito, I just feel lucky that I got to see them pulling together, pretty amazing site to see.
