Yard Goat on the Main Line
In 1987, the UP yardmaster in Provo, Utah determined the YPV51 yard job could be handled with an end cab switch engine.
For more than a year, an SW10 would depart the yard, tootling along the 131 pound rail of the Provo Subdivision, running as far Cutler in Lehi, about 20 miles from the yard.
Driving home from work, I spotted 1258 running along Geneva Road south of Pleasant Grove, Utah on June 7, 1988. The gondolas and steel beams would soon be dropped off at Hardy in Lindon.
