The center siding of Kyune has a couple of fantastic S-Curves that can been see quite well from the shoulder of US-6 high above. Here, a BNSF manifest heads east on Main 2 through one such curve.

A BNSF manifest, the MDENSTO, creeps west on a yellow signal on main one at the siding of Kyune. Main two is on the far right, and the siding itself is a "center siding", running in between the two mainlines.

On main two, a UP coal load works its way west up the steep 2% grade, while on main one, a BNSF manifest runs parallel to the coal load, attempting to overcome the same grade. Interesting watching two trains "race" up Soldier Summit!

A Utah Rail coal load (with leased UP power) is approaching the siding of Kyune on a yellow. If you look through the tunnel and to the right of the signal, note that the coal train is following another westbound on main one!

Amtrak's California Zephyr (Train 5) runs through the S-curve at the east end of the siding of Kyune in the Price River Canyon. At 7:45am, the sun has not yet hit this part of the canyon.
