At this lonely grade crossing in the middle of the Utah desert, a cross buck and a stop sign do their best to protect the tracks. Granted, they do their job considering the low number of cars and trains that pass through in a day! The moon shines brightly in the southern sky in the distance.

In the desert in between Wash and Mounds, the rails reflect the fading light in the western sky. Unfortunately, the rails in the desert are empty far more than they were twenty years ago under the Rio Grande.

Two dozen brand new IPPX hoppers are on the front of this Utah Railway coal empty as it passes through the town of Price. The train is headed for the Savage coal mine on the CV Spur. It will load there and then depart west, going back over Soldier Summit.

The west switch of Price looks like it is in the middle of a nice park. It is surrounded by trees and grass. Amtrak 6, now running over six hours late, passes the clear signal at track speed.
