Echo Canyon

Nearly 152 years after the Union Pacific spiked 56 pound rail on hand-hewn ties, a hot Denver to Salt Lake City UPS train rolls through Echo Canyon, Utah on April 10, 2021. Signs of spring abound on this fine day, including brilliant sunshine, blue skies, and greening vegetation along the right of way. These grasses attempt to cloak an ever-present layer of coal cinders from passing steam powered trains, replaced by diesels more than six decades ago.
