The curves at Kyune make for some really nice rail photography. In this shot, this Utah Railway coal load is headed west on Main 2. Next to it is the siding of Kyune and on the far side in Main 1.

The gentle S-Curve at the west switch of Kyune is a great place for a shot of an eastbound in morning light. If you look close, you'll notice a clear signal on Main 1. DS-78 is preparing for a westbound coal load that has not left Helper.

Utah Railway has, traditionally, leased power rather than purchased it. The lease is always an extended lease, lasting for 10 years or longer. It is always interesting to see what is on the roster each time you visit the Utah. On this day, four SD50S's, one ex-ATSF SD45, and an MK50-3 working hard up the 2% grade just west of Kyune.

A BNSF manifest, the MDENSTO, creeps west on a yellow signal on main one at the siding of Kyune. Main two is on the far right, and the siding itself is a "center siding", running in between the two mainlines.

On main two, a UP coal load works its way west up the steep 2% grade, while on main one, a BNSF manifest runs parallel to the coal load, attempting to overcome the same grade. Interesting watching two trains "race" up Soldier Summit!

A Utah Rail coal load (with leased UP power) is approaching the siding of Kyune on a yellow. If you look through the tunnel and to the right of the signal, note that the coal train is following another westbound on main one!

Amtrak's California Zephyr (Train 5) runs through the S-curve at the east end of the siding of Kyune in the Price River Canyon. At 7:45am, the sun has not yet hit this part of the canyon.
