Unit auto racks are very rare on the former Grande these days. This is why I was shocked to come across the unit auto making its way up the eastern slope of Soldier Summit on this fall afternoon. I believe the auto racks had been tied down in a siding in the desert and were being placed back in service. The three units on the point were added in Helper (and would be removed at Colton) as front-end helpers to climb the 2.5% grade.

A 28mm lens is just wide enough to capture the image of an eastbound train wrapping around Castle Gate.
