This is an Eastbound Pacific Fruit Express train on the Wasatch Grade lead by the "BigBoy" 4-8-8-4 #4017, gathering freshly iced cars at Riverdale Yard and taking them up to Echo where the scenario ends.

-Southern Pacific and Union Pacific created Pacific Fruit Express to answer a demand for rail cars that could ship perishable fruits from the West, Salinas Valley and Central Valley. E.H. Harriman made an initial order of 6,000 insulated refrigerator cars, cooled by ice stored at each end. Though some considered this a risky purchase, it soon paid off. Fresh fruits and vegetables were in demand — enough so that growers developed ways to produce crops year ‘round. By 1921, Pacific Fruit Express had grown to 19,200 rail cars carrying 170,000 carloads-

This is the standard Big Boy that came via the route Wasatch Grade with slight sound and physics mods from Mike Cam aka "FanRailer", I'm fully aware there's a new Big Boy soon to be released from Smokebox within the next few months 😉
