The Ups and Downs of the Tintic

Rio Grande GP9s No. 5934 and 5942 pull train No. 668 through Payson in rural Utah County on Jan. 10, 1976. A wood pile trestle lifts the rails of Rio Grande's Tintic Branch above Union Pacific's Provo Subdivision, on back-to-back +1.1 and -0.9% grades. The 33 hopper cars will load at United States Steel's Keigley limestone quarry in Genola.
