Today's Utah Railway
With the exception of the terminal operations between Provo and Salt Lake City, this is the state of the Utah Railway today. The URY mainline is mothballed from the Wildcat coal and oil loadout to the end of the track with no hope in sight. The coal they were known for is dying off and they generally only run one or two trains of the stuff a week now, with UP power.
One this day, part of the train has pulled up to Colton to do a crew change, after dropping the swing helpers off. They'll reassemble the train and fight gravity and rain to get the train the remainder of the way to Soldier Summit.
