Forty Fever
Rio Grande GP40-2 No. 3099 and Amtrak F40PH units No. 333 and 323 pull a 15-car California Zephyr train No. 6 just outside the Thistle Tunnels in Spanish Fork Canyon the morning of June 11, 1984. The train is traversing a line change that bypassed the town of Thistle and a massive landslide which blocked the D&RGW, the Spanish Fork River, and US Highway 6. The new rail line opened for service on July 4, 1983.
