Westbound
Title:  Westbound
Description:  A westbound with typical power for the time rolls past the rest area at Boardman along I 84. UP had just taken over CNW, and their power was really starting to integrate into UPs fleet. Because CNW power could lead on UP, it often was found in that position.
