Railroad photograph
Photo by: Kevin Morgan
You can clearly see the ups and down of building a railroad across the desert (or really any terrain) in this shot. The tracks move up and down over small hills in the distance as BNSF's Provo-Denver makes track speed on its journey east. Here, the train is between Desert and Sphinx. Six units on the head end, and two DPUs bringing up the rear.
