On January 25, 1993, I rolled by Southern Pacific Co. Modoc train (symbol ROEUM-Roper to Eugene, Manifest) climbing the grade at the Rt395 highway crossing near Viewland, California, where I exposed this single frame of Kodachrome of the helper as it trailed away into the desert fog.

Union Pacific abandoned this unusual railroad many years ago.

Between 1992 and 1994, I made at least a half dozen trips to the remote Modoc Line to capture freights on the move.
