We have taken the siding at Windy Point, waiting for a downhill train. As you can see, we are now well above timber line, at an elevation of 12,130 feet (3,700 meters) above sea level. In 6 1/2 miles, we have gained 5,600 feet. This means the average grade has been 6.1% since departing the depot. It has reached 25% is certain locations, such as "Son-Of-A-Gun Hill".
