Extraordinary Midvale Tramp
Fresh off a stint pulling SP's hot Denver to Salt Lake City UPS train, Cotton Belt GP60 No. 9671 and Southern Pacific No. 9765 find themselves leading a 15-car "Midvale Tramp" local on D&RGW's Garfield Branch near Salt Lake City Municipal Airport II the morning of July 29, 1995. The crew was later overheard chatting on the radio, touting the extended range dynamics of the EMDs, while descending the 2.2% grade of the Bingham Branch from Welby down to the Jordan River crossing on the West Jordan-Midvale City Line.
