Train symbol HOWCY (Extra 8763 West) was having problems with the lead unit and the dispatcher instructed Extra 6716 East to give them one unit at Longfellow.

When all of the units are coupled together it looks like quite an impressive set of motive power.

Engines 6716 and 9193 continue on toward San Antonio. Fortunately the train is mostly empties and does not have that much tonnage. You can tell that engine 9193 (second unit on the eastbound train) has spent many hours laboring through the tunnels of California and Oregon. The grit and grime almost obscure the engine number on the rear. Disk 100
