High Marks for Low Sun
My visit to Echo on Sept. 13, 2024 was quick but satisfying. A quartet of trains polished the rails of Evanston Sub, two in each direction. Due to a stalled INPOA train below Wahsatch on Main 1, dispatcher 6 routed a pair of Z trains around it on Main 2. Meanwhile, two eastbound trains were stuck at CP Strawberry, waiting for the hot Z trains to zip by. The congestion finally broke and the eastward traffic began to move up Weber Canyon grade at 5:30 p.m.
I decided to catch the second eastbound train an Echo, through a pair of curves that look super in backlighting. The IOANP 11 growled through town at 6:48 p.m. in glorious light. The first half of the 206-car monster mash looked every bit an intermodal, while the second half, an ethanol unit train. The clean FedEx containers behind the power were icing on the container cake.
