Photo ID: 112067 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 28, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Thompson to Brendel Grand County, UT 17 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Green River (UP) Union Pacific For several years, UP has been operating a train on the Cane Creek Sub Monday-Thursday to clean up some radioactive waste. Atlas Minerals operated a uranium mill near Moab between 1956 and 1984. The mill produced 16 million tons of radioactive tailings. The Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project was created to prevent potential contamination of the nearby Colorado River. UP hauls roughly roughly 10,000 tons of tailings per week to a new disposal sight near Crescent Junction, where the buried tailings will not risk contaminating the Colorado River or any other ground water. In this shot, the Potash Local passes by the tailings train near Brendel. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
