His momma knew he wasn't going to be the type to walk the line. Ever since he was a kid, he flirted with Risk.
Noteworthy as Utah's longest tunnel, Bootlegger Tunnel also sits under the shadow of Corona Arch. Here UP's once a week Potash Turn makes a delayed exit from the tunnel as it enters Bootlegger Canyon.
Union Pacific’s Potash Turn heads north past unique red rock formations inside Bootlegger Canyon on the afternoon of May 12, 2006. This train normally operates in the morning, so this late afternoon departure from Potash is somewhat unusual. The short 8-car train is led by former Southern Pacific, now HLCX SD40r No. 6336 and UP SD40-2 No. 3285
With the temperature at 102 degrees, Union Pacific's Potash local makes its return trip up the Cane Creek Subdivision on Friday the 13th of August 2021.

On the afternoon of February 10, 2006, the crew of the Potash Local has finished switching the mine at Potash at the south end of the 35.8-mile Cane Creek Subdivision and is heading back to the main line at Brendel, Utah, and then to Grand Junction, Colorado. The once-a-week local makes a round trip to the potash mine at the end of the branch. The short train is curving into Bootlegger Canyon, the most scenic portion of the Cane Creek branch. The canyon features a long tunnel and the Corona Arch, a natural rock arch high above the track––photo by Joe McMillan with Mike Danneman.

With a trio of EMD's lined up oldest to youngest, UP's Potash Local shines the Cane Creek Subdivision on their Friday only run to Intrepid Potash SW of Moab, UT. It seems that geeps are showing their faces more and more on this run, which is truly icing on the cake.
After the UP OCS reached Potash, the engines ran around the train and coupled to the FOX RIVER for the trip back to the Green River Sub at Brendel. At 4:36 p.m., the special is curving away from the Colorado River to enter Bootlegger Canyon as hikers and photographers watch. In a few minutes, the train will enter Bootlegger Tunnel near the Corona Arch and exit above the northwest side of Moab. The "Abe Lincoln" unit will lead the train back to Brendel, and then east to Thompson, where the units will run around the train for the journey west to Ogden.

Returning North with loads, the crew of UP's Potash Local prepares to smile, wave, and hopefully not run over the hikers as they enter Bootlegger Canyon. It's surprising to watch the recreational development evolve at this site by looking at past photos. Despite the large amount of visitors to the area, the landscape still gifts a sense of solitude and awe to everyone who visits.
Under harsh sunlight and the temperature climbing to 102 degrees, Union Pacific's Potash local drifts downgrade on the Cane Creek Subdivision on June 28, 2019.
What better way to spend a stormy day than indoors drinking beer, and I had to open quite a few before I found a cap I liked :D... only joking!
I kept this beer bottle cap from a while ago because I liked the colours and thought I might be able to do something with it.
Union Pacific’s Potash local is just about to enter a large cut and exit Bootlegger Canyon on the way to Potash, Utah, on February 10, 2006. An EMD SD60/GE C40-8 duo powers the short train though the spectacular red rock country near Moab and Arches National Park.
First of all, the piece count is ridiculous, and the joints are all nice and stiff. (although the ratcheted knees might be too stiff) The stickers are somewhat hard to apply since they're the same size as or bigger than the area they're supposed to be applied to. The flexy filmy bits prints were off centered and like 3 pieces still had flashing on them but I'd still say it's worth 15 bucks. If you happen to see this one or any of the sets in the same wave them I recommend getting one.
The Union Pacific OCS exits the west end of Bootlegger Canyon as it heads for Potash, a few miles farther. The red rocks of the Colorado River tower over the train in this vertical-walled cut. A popular hiking trail crosses the rails at this point. September 24, 2025, at 2:26 p.m.

After emerging from Moab Tunnel, this UP passenger special is slowly rolling through Bootlegger Canyon. High above the train, we can see the famous Corona Arch on the left side of the frame. One of the countless natural arch formations that can be found in and around Arches National Park. Corona Arch itself is actually location outside of the park.

Exiting the 7,050 Bootlegger Tunnel, Union Pacific’s Potash Local heads west towards Intrepid Potash Mine near Moab, Utah. Even with only 17 empties in tow, the sound of two EMD’s echoing off the canyon walls was very impressive.
