Westbounds between Lakepoint and Tooele, Utah along the Qquirrh Mountains range, struggle. It's a 800 ft. gain over about 8 miles 4200 ft. to 5000 ft. This train did better than most with three un... (more)

With the train right on my heals. I shot a shot I don't usually shot. The first two units are really showing the wear and tear of daily service.

A repaint, rebuild rounds the corner at Lakepoint, Utah with the MNPML.

Rounding the big curve between Lakepoint, and Erda, Utah on the Lynndyl Subdivision. UP 5767, 8205, and 5694 lead the MNPML.

A couple SD70M's, lead the MNPML through Lakepoint, Utah.

The second of back to back trains on the Lynndyl Sub. A rare sight these days. UP 5336 hauls a bare table around the big sweeper at the south end of Lakepoint.

Under threating skies. Union Pacific 6145 leads three SD60M's and another C40-8's at Lakepoint, Utah, with a American Presidents Line stack train.

Westbound UP 9064, rumbles around the high banked curve at Lakepoint, Utah.

I was able to catch this eastbound with one of the new paint jobs. Unfortunately it was running second unit UP 6942. Actually there were two on the train, UP 6460 was in the mid train DPU's.

UP 7254 and 6844 roll around a big sweeping curve at Lake point, Utah. With a IPP coal train in tow.

I got a heads up tonight that a coal train was coming my way. It's a Black Thunder to IPP train. IPP trains pretty much always go down the Provo Sub, then onto Sharp Subdivision. So it was a very ... (more)
