Railroad photograph

A classic shot for eastbounds on the Moffat, no doubt! A trio of GEs lead the Provo-Denver by the intermediate signal at MP 14.6. Keen observers may notice that mile plate on the signal says 14.5, and you are correct. When going west, this intermediate is identified as 14.5, but when going east, it is identified as 14.6. Just keeps it unique and makes it obvious to anyone (dispatcher, MOW, etc) listening to the radio which direction the train is going, as well as where it is.
