Blazing Through Sunflowers
Rio Grande’s Railblazer train No. 102 blasts through Utah Valley east of Springville, Utah the evening of Sept. 13, 1989. The Grande’s overnight sprint trains rushed piggyback trailers between Salt Lake City and Denver for five years, making their final runs in April 1990. TOFC (Trailer on Flat Car) was the primary mode of shipment, although five pack spine cars debuted on the Blazers late in 1989.
