The Annual Pilgrimage
A trio of Deseret Power Railway (DPR) E60C's leads the morning eastbound empties under County Road 3150 (Old Bonanza Highway) at milepost 28, between Bonanza and Vernal, UT. The DPR runs roughly 35 rail miles between Blue Mountain Energy's Deserado Mine loadout near Dinosaur, CO and the Bonanza Power Plant near Bonanza, UT.
The railroad was firing on all cylinders this day; alas, I was not. This is the earliest I've ever seen the morning round trip, meaning I was in a tail chase from the moment I arrived in the area. The eastbound was my first chance at a decent shot.
