Geneva Steel's Limestone Quarry
The late Joel Thompson was a model railroader, historian, and fireman/engineer for the Heber Valley Railroad. He lived in Payson, Utah, and on occasion, photographed railroad activity along Rio Grande’s Tintic Branch. On Nov. 7, 1997, he caught three Union Pacific SW10s and a Cotton Belt GP40-2 switching at Geneva Steel's Keigley limestone quarry in Genola, Utah. This extraordinary photograph captures a unique moment in the history of the line.
