Climbing Cherry Hill
I rarely spend time photographing UP's 34 mile Salt Lake Subdivision. The surroundings are not particularly scenic, bordered by the I-15 superslab, heavy traffic, warehouses, and housing developments. When I saw this move, I had to give chase. The MROOG 06 (Roper to Ogden transfer) rolled by with a single GE C44ACM leader. It was relatively clean, so I gave chase. Being the journey would be in the thick of rush hour traffic, my options were limited. I decided to go for Cherry Hill with the sweeping 2 degree curve at Burton Lane in Kaysville. I managed to arrive with five minutes to spare, and would later discover the train had 235 cars, 82 loads, 153 empties, 15,671 gross tons, 13,938 feet of train, 1x1x1 DPU, all GEs.
