Head End Helpers
Standing at the same location as the previous photo, but facing the opposite direction, a Union Pacific SD9043AC intrudes on what could have been a matched set of Rio Grande tunnel motors leading an MDVRO. The two lead units were helpers added to the head end for the trip up Soldier Summit and they just happen to be the same SD40T-2s that were seen shoving MDVRO in the preceding photo. The Price River is partially snow-covered on this chilly but sunny late winter day along the Provo Subdivision.
UP MDVRO:
DRGW 5407 SD40T-2
DRGW 5347 SD40T-2
UP 8238 SD9043AC
DRGW 5342 SD40T-2
