Remnants of the Rio Grande, 2
The rest of the day was spent chasing trains on the climb to Soldier Summit.
Eastbound BNSF run-through train at Castle Gate, UT 08/18/00.
Great shots, great light (till the thunderstorms come over the summit late in the afternoons) and enough action- especially when I chased it.
UP's MDVRO (Manifest-Denver to Roper Yd) near Nolan's Point, UT 08/18/00.
Eastbound BNSF run-through; Nolan's Point, UT 08/18/00.
Afternoon light was spectacular on the yard in Helper as well.
D&RGW 5385 at rest in Helper, UT 08/18/00.
Utah Railway eastbound empties; Castle Gate, UT 08/18/00.
Utah Railway train approaching Martin Yard 08/18/00.
At the end of the day, I watched a crew assemble 6 T-2's and splice them into an 85-car westbound coal drag. I chased it west till a thunderstorm hit at dusk up at Colton, and I went to bed tired but happy.
