Over the course of two days, I caught a handful of trains tipping the hill at Mescal located between the Rincon and Whetstone Mountains this is either the first or last hill for trains working across the Lordsburg Subdivision. Westbounds trains are climbing a ten mile long 1.65% ruling grade out of the San Pedro Valley, while Eastbounds have been climbing a fairly steady thirty-three mile long 1% out of Tucson along the Cienega Creek.

With the exception of one intermodal train this is another heavy manifest feature with all five trains being over ten-thousand tons. The heaviest being a MHNPX which came in just over twenty-thousand tons and was the only train I saw out here that ran with B and C DPU consist.
