SP at Rio Grande's Roper Yard
Upon the approval by the ICC of the Ogden Gateway court case in 1967, select Southern Pacific trains began to run through Ogden with Rio Grande crews to Roper Yard in South Salt Lake. The agreement was still in effect as SP SD45T-2 No. 9398 leads an eastbound train into Roper the afternoon of April 15, 1984. Southern Pacific locomotives were turned here and returned to SP rails at Ogden via a westbound train.
