This is an awesome shot! What kind of grade is that? It looks way too steep in the photograph.

Whoa, Beauty! I'm totally jealous. Been here several times, never got a shot like this. Good ?? from Ryan about the grade. Best info I could find puts it at 1.1%. Telephoto effect might be making it look a little steeper here, but it is an impressive hill and the longer freights REALLY struggle coming up out of the Illinois River valley.
