        With the UP 4125 safely in the siding at Brant, the IGSAP, with the UP 4929 on the point picks up speed. You can see the head ends meet in this shot, and by the time the eb train reached me, they were running with a full head of steam. Probably in the 50 - 55 mph range. It was a lot faster than I thought the downhill trains would be going on this side of Cima. It isn't as steep on the eastern slope, but I was surprised by the speed. (This was not the only train of the day running like this, as I would find out as the day moved on.)
