ATSF 8755 West
The ground is shaking and the sounds of a pounding exhaust beat fill the air at Quinlan, OK on 03/29/81 as the AT&SF 8755 West is half done with its assault on Curtis Hill.
With only two units and a heavy manifest train in tow, the 8755 had to wait at Heman for several faster intermodal ”shooters” to run around it before starting its miles-long slow climb up the 1% grade on its way to Amarillo.
