| A pair of freshly painted SD40-2s race uphill through Java to assist a stack train stalled on the hill. |  |
 |
High above US Highway 2, the helpers round the point on Snowslip Mountain where Tunnel 1 (now bypassed) was located. |
| At the Summit of Marias Pass, the stack train, with the helpers pushing on the rear, makes a rolling meet with an westbound merchant train. Little Dog Mountain looms in the background. |  |
 |
A short while later, the merchant train rolls through Java. |
| Mission Accomplished, the helpers chase the merchant downhill through Java. |  |
