The La Grande Sub.
Oregon's Blue Mountains, known as The Blues, are a formidable challenge to the trains of Union Pacific. 2.2% grades and tight curves means helpers and distributed power are required on heavy trains. Now, you can see the struggle as you follow the La Grande Sub from Hinkle Yard to Huntington and follow the big trains - including the Union Pacific's SD70 "Wings" - twisting and turning through the scenic Blue Mountains of Oregon. 1 hr. 30 min. #0RV5869
