1993-1997 Final Era of the Tennessee Pass Royal Gorge Route (Remix), Southern Pacific, Union Pacific

1993-1997 Final Era of the Tennessee Pass Royal Gorge Route (Remix), Southern Pacific, Union Pacific!
This is a remix of "Final Era of Southern Pacific on Tennessee Pass Line 1994-1996," with additional video footage from 1993 and 1997.
Southern Pacific bridge route freight traffic climbed the mountainous former Denver & Rio Grande Western Tennessee Pass Royal Gorge Route through spectacular breathtaking scenery. Classic locomotive types included former Rio Grande SD40T-2 tunnel motors, SP GP60, B40-8, SD45, SD40M-2, SD40T-2 and SD45T-2 tunnel motors, and modern for the time, AC4400CW class units. This was the final era of the Southern Pacific before its September 1996 absorption into the massive Union Pacific system. Before operations ceased in August 1997, the UP ran the Tennessee Pass Special, a passenger train pulled by the railroad's famous Northern-class steam locomotive, no. 844.
