Great shot of the yellow/lunar, Joe! I wonder why the F 40 since the P-30, F-25 is supposed to be the passenger and freight speed limits (at least for the GN). They just didn't take the old signs down?

GN_Fan,
The "F-40" is the speed for Freights.. Passenger can go 45 mph through that area.. The slanted "P-30" & "F-25" are advance speed reduction warnings.. Someone told me how far these were put in advance of the speed reduction, but I can't recall right now.. Basically, the passenger (Amtrak's EB) and freights ready for the 2.2% grade upcoming..
