Dragging the California Zephyr

Union Pacific SW10 No. 1260 drags the California Zephyr train No. 6 from the Union Pacific passenger station toward Grant Tower in Salt Lake City, Utah on Aug. 10, 1985. Once the train clears the Provo Subdivision switch, the UP engine will cut off and the CZ will proceed unassisted along 5th West street on the Rio Grande passenger main to 13th South where it will join the freight mainline to Provo, Helper, and points east to Denver. The roof of the nearby Rio Grande passenger station can be seen to the right.
