Utah Railway

An empty hopper train heads for the Savage Coal loadout on the CV Spur east of Price, Utah. At this point in time, Utah Railway was running coal to Provo on M-W-F schedule and also a few tank trains a month over Soldier Summit. The coal contract was lost to Union Pacific less than two years later and the oil and other freight traffic dried up. The re-engined MK5000Cs have since shipped off to the Kyle Railway and some of the SD50S models were shipped off to the Indiana & Ohio.
