Early morning train headed eastbound on the mainline about 5 miles from the start of the Mansfield Branch.  Once this train hits the mouth of Moses Coulee, nothing but steep grades and sharp curves will be awaiting them.  These GP-9's will be working overtime trying to reach Mansfield in 4 hours time.  Oct. 1983 photo by John P.
