With the coal train completely loaded, this Utah Railway power is headed back west to the other end of the loadout track. Once there, it will move back to the loaded rain (seen in the distance) and hook on to start the pull back over Soldier Summit to the west.

This Utah Railway coal train is creeping along at around 1/2 MPH as it is loaded at the Wildcat Loadout. This SD50 was cut in between a quartet of MK50-3s.

A couple of miles beyond Utah Railways yard at Martin lies the Wildcat Loadout. This loadout was closed for a couple of years for work at the mines. It is active once again however and Utah Railway loads a few trains here a week.

This Utah Railway coal train is just starting under the coal tipple at the Wildcat coal mine. The coal train will proceed at a grueling 2 MPH while it loads it 80+ car coal train. The entire process will probably take about two hours.

Although this coal empty has Union Pacific power, it is not a UP coal train. This is actually a Utah Railway coal train, heading for the Wildcat mine on the Utah Railway mainline. Notice the jointed rail!
