Geneva Steel's Manmade Industrial Canyon
Rio Grande SD50 No. 5505 leads train No. 195 along Geneva Steel near Vineyard, Utah the evening of Aug. 25, 1987. I knew this train was coming westward from Provo, and was looking for a new angle for a photograph along what is a rather uninteresting tangent of track. I perched myself on a large mountain of dark, black, oily material that actually smelled pretty awful. The opposite side of the track includes 'slag mountain', an accumulation of byproduct compiled over decades of steel making.
