Atlantic City Ore Train

Doug Harrop Photography • March 8, 1978

 

A set of five new GE C30-7 locomotives, wearing their factory original but short lived 2900 series numbers, pull Union Pacific's ACUE iron ore empty through Peterson, Utah.

 

The ore cars, from United States Steel's Geneva Works near Orem, Utah are moving east to the USS iron ore mine in the Wind River mountains near Atlantic City, Wyoming.

 

Looming above is scenic Mount Ogden, reaching skyward 9,579 feet above sea level, and more than 4,700 feet above the track.
