Photo ID: 112115 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 28, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP RG662 (West Gilluly) Utah County, UT 26 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Provo (UP) Rocky Mountaineer The westbound Rocky Mountaineer just knocked down a clear (green) signal on Main 1 at the west end of Gilluly. This would be the final shot for me on the two-day chase of the Mountaineer from Glenwood west toward Salt Lake City. The train would continue on from Gilluly to make it to Salt Lake City by 8:30pm.

Photo ID: 112114 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 28, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Gilluly Utah County, UT 23 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Provo (UP) Rocky Mountaineer Nearly halfway alongside the center siding of Gilluly, the Rocky Mountaineer is going around a long, sweeping, 180° curve. As amazing as Big Ten Curve in Colorado is, the loops at and around Gilluly are, in my opinion, even more amazing. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 112108 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 28, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Soldier Summit Utah County, UT 24 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Provo (UP) Rocky Mountaineer The Rocky Mountaineer has made it to the top of the final pass it will run over on the way west to Salt Lake City. The train is roughly 7,470 feet (2,277 meters) above Sea Level and is still on Main 1. The siding at Soldier Summit is located alongside Main 1. There are crossovers at either end of Soldier Summit, so trains on Main 2 could crossover to access the siding as well. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 112106 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 28, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP RG639 (East Kyune) Utah County, UT 18 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Provo (UP) Rocky Mountaineer Kyune is one of three sidings located on Soldier Summit. Even though Soldier Summit has two main tracks, sidings are still occasionally necessary. If nothing else, two of them can serve as crossover between the two mains as they are "center sidings", located between the two main tracks. Kyune is the first of the sidings when heading west. The Mountaineer throttles up as the max speed increases from 30 MPH to 35 MPH. Note the very interesting signal protecting the siding. The red signals on the right side of the signal indicate the switch leaving the siding is aligned toward Main 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
