The Oil Cans head east toward Ilmon with a rebuilt T-2 in the lead. Not long after this photo was taken, the train stopped, with tank cars directly below the photographer's location. On top of one car were a number of riders. They appeared to speak only Spanish. Being fluent, the photographer attempted to warn them of approaching tunnels, where the exhaust would become suffocating and acrid. He can only hope they off-boarded before that happened.
Not
