Soldier Creek Line Change
Rio Grande Zephyr enters the Soldier Creek Line Change at Detour, Utah on Oct. 10, 1982. The original right-of-way featured seven miles of 4% grade, tracing the path of today's US Highway 6 to Soldier Summit. The 1913 realignment through the Gilluly horseshoe curves cut that gradient in half.
