Great Western GP at Heber |
| Description: |
GWR 296 is planned to be restored to its original UP 296 paint and operating status in the near future. From what I understand it will run for a while in it's GWR paint to test out the kinks, and once it is running smoothly it will be returned to its original Armour Yellow paint. |

UTAX 18 |
| Description: |
UTAX 18 travels northbound through the Jordan Narrows. This right of way has hosted a variety of railroads, the DRGW, the SP, the Utah Railway, the Union Pacific, and the BNSF. The relatively new Frontrunner track parallels the old DRGW route, and offers a chance to view this scenic location by rail. |

MNPWC Arriving in Salt Lake City |
| Description: |
A massive train longer than two miles, stretching from one end of North Yard to the other; fouling up the grade crossings for a long time... This thing was a true beast to behold and a testament to the strange "Monster Train" mentality that the Union Pacific currently has going on it. |

MNPWC At the Yard Portal |
| Description: |
This monster train once it settled into North Yard, had one end sticking out on the main on the northern portal, and the head end sticking out on the main on the south end. This would not be a big deal if it was just here for a crew change... but the MNPWC drops off cars and switches a bit in Salt Lake City! Not to mention at the same time on the opposite main was the MWCNP also due to switch a bit in SLC. The switching moves pushed the train even further south down to the North Temple UTA station, and as night fell and we left, it got the signal to pull forward down into Grant Tower to continue its switching moves. These two monster trains probably gave the yard master a headache that night... |

Small, Lean, and Fast! |
| Description: |
South of Castilla and nearing the Thistle landslide location, a BNSF Provo to Lincoln Nebraska train (the H PVOLIN as BNSF calls it, or the QPVLIN as Union Pacific traces it); throttles though a cut in beautiful and soft red rocks. The BNSF attitude of running fast and short trains through Spanish Fork Canyon is reminiscent of the Rio Grandes same methods of getting trains through this route. |

RUT 611 (Finally!) |
| Description: |
The RUT 611 is one of Utah Railways true "road trains" which almost always uses six axle power as it travels from Provo to Ogden. Most of Utah Railways six axle power is still painted in their classic paint scheme, so it has been a goal of mine to catch this train in motion. Finally today my luck came together and I got to catch the 611 with a SD50 on the lead as it powered through Salt Lake City on the old Rio Grande main! |

Short Train |
| Description: |
What I at first assumed was a yard transfer turned out to be a short train that had came all the way from North Platte to Utah. I heard this train is the DPU and end of train cars on an Ogden bound train, and once it hits Ogden, the DPU pulls off with its southbound cars heading to Roper. |
