Remarks & Notes

I won't forget how upset my railfan companion became when the Rio Grande Zephyr rounded the big curve at Thompson with a 'freight' engine on the point. Several expletives were uttered followed by this unique Kodachrome image on Memorial Day '79 in the Green River Desert region of eastern Utah.
