SLGW DS13 Off I-80
Title:  SLGW DS13 Off I-80
Description:  This was my first professionally published photo, appearing on pg. 13 of the March 2020 edition of Railfan and Railroad. SLGW DS13 is a former Kennecott Copper high cab GP39, and it wears a striking SLGW paint scheme. I caught it working on the west end of Salt Lake City kicking around some tank cars.

Surprise Catch of the Day!
Title:  Surprise Catch of the Day!
Description:  It seems every winter or spring, at least once a year; BNSF's route from Southern California to Northern California and up to Oregon and Washington; is knocked out of service. To keep the traffic flowing, BNSF sends their trains "the long way around" via the Union Pacific, up through Nevada, Utah, Idaho, then back into Oregon. On my way home from school, I spotted an eastbound detoured BNSF train in the distance. I rushed up to "The Cut" in Erda, Utah. The "Faux-bonnet" and the H1 paint schemes trailing behind the lead engine were a cool sight to see so deep in Union Pacific territory.

Resting on the Mainline
Title:  Resting on the Mainline
Description:  Due to floods in northern Nevada, the Union Pacific had to reroute a large amount of trains over the Shaffter Subdivision (which itself was crippled by some flood damage too). Due to this traffic jam, the UP began to stack trains out on the Lynndyl Subdivision east of Garfield and west of Salt Lake to prepare them to travel down the Shaffter in conjunction "fleeting" together on the crippled line. I found one such train, left peacefully on one of the mainline tracks; while a flooded field reflected the blue sky.

Westbound Stacks and Pigs at Erda
Title:  Westbound Stacks and Pigs at Erda
Description:  I was traveling between Salt Lake City and Tooele; when I caught this stack train (ISCLB-27) running through Garfield, Utah. I followed it down to Erda, where I was able to catch it highballing pass the Fassio Eggs feed silo. UP 8074 is on point, with three SD70M units (UP 4060, UP 5032, and UP 4712). It seemed like the train was at full track speed, all the way from Garfield down through Erda.

Utah Railway Coal Train
Title:  Utah Railway Coal Train
Description:  A Utah Railway coal empty with UP units on the lead moves downgrade at Kyune. This train will be loaded at the Savage load out later in the day. This was the last Utah Railway coal train scheduled to run before Utah Railways coal contract expired. Apparently Utah only has two coal trains scheduled in January to meet some of the contracts tonnage requirements; and then they will exit the coal hauling business for the foresee-able future.

Description:  Railfan Matt Paulson crouches down to frame a shot of the approaching MWCNP. The main reason we met on this day to railfan around Milford was so Josh Bernard could film footage for his documentary "Trackside." Which I guess I am technically one of the co-producers of that film to, so go watch it when it comes out in May 2017!

Utah 3002
Title:  Utah 3002
Description:  Utah Railway 3002 has been back from its G&W rebuild for nearly a year now. It is great to see her again. She is the only ex-WP unit still in the state of Utah. Utah 2006 behind it is an ex-SP unit.
