Ryan King General This is an awesome shot! What kind of grade is that? It looks way too steep in the photograph. 4/12/2011 9:40:26 AM
TS _Illinois General 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. 4/12/2011 1:24:23 PM
Olaf Junges General Great shot! 4/15/2011 6:51:56 AM
