The train is passing the now-closed Devore depot on its climb up Cajon Pass. The last four cars in the train are some of the UP’s latest TOFC cars that have begun hauling freight across the nation in truck trailers. It is but a glimpse of things to come. Turn to page 24 to see how Ted economically modeled these cars. Photo by Ted York. INSET: Starting on page 34, Michael Paltzer shows how he modeled a prototypical grain drying operation.
