It's 1996, and today we're at Robert's Creek Siding, ID. Here comes a Utah Belt coal train lead by a AC44CW #4401, an SD60M, a C44-9W and another AC44CW, with dynamic brakes screaming.
Since this train is extremely heavy, the use of helpers going downgrade is necessary to maintain an optimal speed with dynamic brakes. SD45's and some SD50's are being used in helper service over many mountain passes, such as Solomon Pass and Bear Creek Pass.
An SD50 #3565, an SD60M and a C44-9W lead a manifest upgrade, in N8 of course! SD50's are seeing less and less runtime on the head end of freights nowadays.
Here comes the helper set, with the aforementioned SD50 in helper service and two more SD45's.
A returning helper set rolls by for Dechutes Junction, OR to couple onto the next train.
A grain train is seen in the distance.
More continued in the next post.

MRL 130 pulling a string of aircraft fuselages rolls by a pair of classic NP semaphores which won't be there for long.

It's 2022, and wires are back up at Northcide! Here we see some of the CD&N's old Project E engines entering the yard with a pig train. The GF6C's proved their worth on the Tumbler Ridge sub working for BC Rail, and they're serving their careers out on CD&N after the BC Rail/CN merger took them out of service. CD&N picked up all seven, and this added to their existing fleet of two.
Here's a look at its nose. The nose proudly displays "Fully Electric" on the side.

I think the gravity and friction calculations are a tad off.
