Riprap Work Train

A Rio Grande GP40-2 pulls a train of Difco side dump cars through Spanish Fork Canyon at Castilla, Utah the afternoon of Feb. 14, 1988. With a locomotive on each end, the work train made multiple trips between a slag dump on the Geneva Pipemill Spur and the 1983 Thistle Line Change, dumping riprap along tracks to sure-up the right of way.
