The "Odd Couple" Blast Off for Cutler
Union Pacific assigned an SD40 and SW10 combo to a Provo, Utah based local that ran about 20 miles to an industrial area called Cutler near Lehi on UP's original Provo Subdivision. Marriage of the "odd couple" lasted about two weeks until its annulment. On Oct. 28, 1986, the duo are pictured departing Provo on the Rio Grande main line via a trackage rights agreement. The 64-car train will reenter UP trackage at Lakota Junction, five miles up the line. The large brick and tile roofed building on the left is the old D&RGW-UP Union Station which opened in 1911. At the time, the 75-year old depot was in the early stages of demolition.
