  1. I have climbed this grade from Merriton to Clifton, more times than I can count!

  2. Nice lighting ! How steep would this grade be in percentage ? Makes me wonder what speed a heavyweight train like 421 would be operating at.

  3. @Aitch..the grade is not as steep as you might think. Especially compared to Copetown. I think I only stalled once on this grade. The normal speed up the hill is around 25-30 mph with a heavy train

  4. @ngineered4u: Interesting, thanks.
