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.

The fact that Memorial Day is coming up fast and the fact that Utah Railway has more than likely reached their coal quotas for the month of May, the railroad is practically shut down! The four SD50s and one MK5000C seen in this picture are completely shut off, and only two cars sit in the parking lot of the Utah Railway headquarters.
