The Blue Cut Line Change, 1967

Rio Grande GP40-2 No. 3117 leads Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 5 between Maxwell (Carbonville) and Spring Glen, Utah the evening of June 8, 1985. In the background along the base of the cliff is the previous alignment that was bypassed in 1967 with a line change that eliminated three sharp curves on a 1% grade.
