Rock Island Blue on the Union Pacific

Doug Harrop Photography • September 14, 1978

 

An impressive display a EMD horsepower moves a Union Pacific coal train up the 1.14% grade through Echo Canyon at Curvo, five miles from the 6,842 ft. summit at Wahsatch, Utah.

 

Bituminous coal from the United States Fuel mine at Mohrland, Utah was shipped by the Utah Railway, Union Pacific, and Rock Island to the Union Electric generating station at Labadie, Missouri.
