Features: Experience heavy-duty action on the rough and tough Mullan Pass where up to three sets of helpers are needed to haul big tonnage up 2.2 percent grades. Ride around horseshoe curves, over two long trestles and through the 3,896-foot tunnel crossing the Continental Divide. Marvel at the endless vistas of Montana's Big Sky country. Share the excitement on this legendary pass in 1990 when Burlington Northern and Montana Rail shared the line. See coal trains grind their way past Iron Ridge and watch huge clouds of diesel exhaust roll out of the tunnel. Take a ride across the Pass in a lead helper engine. You can't get enough of this awesome experience!

Features: In the decade they ran, UP's 8500-series Gas Turbine Electric Locomotives earned two nicknames: the "Super Fleet" as they were the largest, most powerful locomotives ever employed by the railroad. More often they were called "Big Blows" due to the deafening roar of their engines. Used primarily between Ogden, Utah and Green River, Wyoming, where the tough grades of the Wasatch Mountains required UP's sturdiest power, these monsters could log up to 10,000 miles a month hauling heavy mixed freight and coal trains. Their prime mover was the most powerful ever used in a locomotive. Video Rails take you back to the 1960s with dramatic footage of UP's Turbines at work.
