Smelter Switcher

One of Union Pacific's "Rugged Little Beasts", an SW10 switch engine, shuffles loads of smelter slag in the former WP yard at Garfield, Utah the morning of April 4, 1992. Looming behind UP 1202 is Kennecott Copper's 1,215 ft. high smelter stack. When it was completed in 1974, it held several world records, and today it has its own Wiki page:
