In between the sidings of Mounds and Wash, four units are taking an empty oil train to the yard tracks at Wash. The empty tanks had been tied down in the siding at Mounds, without any power. Once dropping the train off at Wash, the UP power will return to Helper (where they originated) to tie down.

The Dirt Train, led by DRGW 5349, is just coming east out of the siding of Wash. The train will run another nine miles to Mounds before leaving the mainline behind.

Although the desert across Utah is far from busy, UP does still send a couple coal trains across the desert on most days. This eastbound empty is headed for the Northfork Subdivision in western Colorado.

Four Rio Grande SD40T-2s lead the so-called "Dirt Train" eastbound just east of the siding of Wash near Wellington, UT. The Dirt Train actually carries trash from the Salt Lake City area to a landfill on the Sunnyside Subdivision in the Utah desert.

The California Zephyr has left the mountains behind and is now entering the Utah desert. The train will run through Green River and eventually Grand Junction on its way to Denver.
