The Lower Horseshoe
Doug Harrop Photography • June 20, 1979
Rio Grande train No. 34 twists through the eight degree, lower horseshoe curve while ducking under US Highway 6 at Gilluly, Utah. Doug captured this view from the right of way at old "Scenic", about four miles timetable east by rail toward Soldier Summit.
D&RGW often dispatched multiple sections of train 34 daily out of Roper Yard in South Salt Lake. This variant features two cabooses, multiple piggback trailers and flatbeds loaded with concrete pipe.
