Directly beneath the leading power of the Zephyr, a group of campers are liking waking up to the sound of the train crossing the steel above them.

Most sidings are perfectly parallel the main track they are next to. Green River, however, is an example of one that strays slightly from the mainline alignment.

The train knocked down a clear (green) signal...but this particular intermediate off in the distance has not yet been replaced by UP. In fact, you can still see the lunar (white-ish) bottom signal, indicating eastbound trains approaching it can proceed without stopping at this restricting signal.

It will also be meeting a loaded UP oil train, currently holding the main at Green River. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 109147 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 13, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Green River Green River, UT 190 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Green River (UP) Union Pacific This spring, the "green" part of Green River is definitely showing! The last DPU on a westbound oil empty just crossed over Green River and is entering the siding. It is meeting an eastbound oil load. The load will have to wait here for the Zephyr, which is currently at Mack, 90 miles to the east. Unfortunately, the next available siding for a meet, Thompson, is an hour to the east. The dispatcher does not want to risk delaying the Zephyr by releasing the oil train for a meet there. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When it hitched a ride on the back in the 1980's, it would be dropped off in Salt Lake. Not this time however...it is on its way to Los Angeles, CA where it will now be based.
