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.

Unit auto racks are very rare on the former Grande these days. This is why I was shocked to come across the unit auto making its way up the eastern slope of Soldier Summit on this fall afternoon. I believe the auto racks had been tied down in a siding in the desert and were being placed back in service. The three units on the point were added in Helper (and would be removed at Colton) as front-end helpers to climb the 2.5% grade.

The west switch of Price looks like it is in the middle of a nice park. It is surrounded by trees and grass. Amtrak 6, now running over six hours late, passes the clear signal at track speed.
