Gold Bar Canyon
UP LDG51 rumbles past Gold Bar Canyon along the Colorado River near Moab, Utah after departing the potash mine on its return trip up the Cane Creek Branch. The branch was built in 1962 to serve the newly opened potash mine and plant, then owned by Texas Gulf Sulphur. The Rio Grande contracted Morrison-Knudsen to build the entire branch including the 1.3-mile-long tunnel through Bootlegger Canyon.
