UP's Cane Creek Subdivision was built by Rio Grande in 1963, specifically to access the Potash plant near Moab. A weekly local, which runs out of Grand Junction on Fridays, brings empty covered hoppers to the plant and picks up loads. Here, an SD70M, a GP60, and two GP40Ns have 36 empties in tow along UT-191.

With the desert mainline now behind it, the eight car Rocky Mountaineer is now headed south on the track warrant controlled Cane Creek Subdivision. The tracks largely parallel UT-191, with lots of traffic headed to or leaving Moab.
