UP 4021 is the rear helper on a westbound train rounding the curve at Buford. The extra train, led by UP 4011 had departed Cheyenne with 37 cars of Bauxite ore, causing the train to stall near Granite. 4021 was sent by the dispatcher to rescue the train, and help push it the rest of the way up Sherman Hill.
