6 TC&W Geeps lug the St. Paul Turn past Jackson Street.

No day on the OSL in Idaho is complete without at least one shot from the Hill. The infamous hill known as Medbury Hill has stood as a long challenge for trains. It's a 1.5% climb for quite the distance from the Snake River valley below to the desert plateau standing above. At the top of the hill is CP 393 to CP392 which is a center siding known as Reverse, and for a very long time a set of timeless searchlight signals stood guard over this fabled section of railroad. This set now no longer stands, and all the remains is the photos of their glory and the stories they told. Not long after this photo was taken, would ground break on the new signal bridges and signals that would replace these, and from this moment onward time was running out. Here's CP 8810 leading then train MPCET with an entirely CP visitor line up as they thunder up the grade under a glorious beautiful Idaho January sunset.
