Anomaly at Borie
Title:  Anomaly at Borie
Description:  It is unusual to see a westbound general manifest using the steeper alignment over Sherman Hill via Borie. Most of them use No.3 track via Speer and Harriman with its 0.8% gradient. Every once in awhile ,however, a westbound will have ample power (>2hp/t) and a light enough consist to use the steeper but shorter route over the top at Sherman, as is the case with this fellow at Borie amidst the typically bleak landscape of wintertime.
