Iron Ridge and a coal train, Mullan Pass

Another long one I'm afraid, so if you want to get straight to the action skip to 6:30. This video shows the old Iron Ridge Tunnel on Mullan Pass, and the new cut that replaced it. Not the best quality either, as most of it was filmed at max zoom in hazy weather. Coal train was 125 cars plus 8 locos, 548 axles, @ 11mph. Strange to see DC power leading a coal train, especially with the many AC locos showing up on the much lighter stack trains going over here recently. Anyway, may want to grab a cup of coffee before watching. Aaah, the elegance of the executive SD70MAC.
