Train 748 with a lone boxcar and 130 empty hoppers heads east at Wellington on June 1, 1989. Wellington is at milepost 613. The train has engines 5343, 5386, 5353, and 5370. Since the clouds looked like Soldier Summit would soon be socked in, my brother and I decided to chase this train to Sunnyside. However on this day Sunnyside did not live up to its name and we had to watch the sky constantly trying to capture the train between breaks in the clouds.
