Photo ID: 112407 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 4, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP RG548 (West Solitude) Grand County, UT 67 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Green River (UP) Union Pacific A look west from the west switch of Solitude. UP has what is known as a Form B active through here. For a Form B, a track foreman is in charge and puts up red flags around the work zone. Trains are not allowed to enter the work zone without explicit permission from the track foreman. As you can see, it appears that UP is replacing a lot of ties through here.

Photo ID: 112406 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 4, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP RG548 (West Solitude) Grand County, UT 68 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Green River (UP) Union Pacific When a UP coal load derailed at the west switch of Solitude, the derailment damaged the switch itself. When UP repaired the tracks to get the mainline reopened, they did not bother to actually replace the switch. As you can see, the switch points are entirely missing. Not sure what this will mean for the siding of Solitude. UP has used it for long term storage of cars. Indeed, there are cars being stored there even when this picture was taken.
