A Utah Rail coal load (with leased UP power) is approaching the siding of Kyune on a yellow. If you look through the tunnel and to the right of the signal, note that the coal train is following another westbound on main one!

Although Utah Railway often leases power for coal trains, that power tends to be reserved for head-end use. Here, six Utah Railway helpers (MK5000C+SD50 mix) is cut in near the end of a westbound coal load.

Since sometime around 2000, Utah Railway has been leasing power from Union Pacific for coal train service. Here, UP 7104 leads a westbound coal train down the "mainline", right next to the main engine shops in Martin, UT.

This Utah Railway coal load has a green signal at the west end of Soldier Summit. The train will move into heavy dynamics for the descent down the west slope of Soldier Summit.

My personal favorite Utah Railway power would probably be the SD40's used between 1991 and early 2001. Here, UR 9005 and three fellow SD40's lead a westbound coal train over the top of Soldier Summit.
