A Different Perspective of Thistle, Utah

Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5379 leads a cluster of black and gold EMDs through Thistle, Utah the morning of Aug. 7, 1977. This perspective was rarely photographed, looking southward toward Thistle Creek Canyon, where the Marysvale Branch connected to the main line, and wandered 132 miles through rural Sanpete, Sevier, and Piute Counties to tap the riches of the Marysvale mining district.
