Of all the interesting relics I've discovered around Utah's Tintic Mining District, this Western Pacific Monocoach trailer is one of the more unusual. Spotted near Union Pacific's Lynndyl Subdivision at Tintic Junction, it was previously used by a Western Pacific roadmaster before the UP-WP merger in 1983. By July 27, 1986, it was in maintenance of way service.
WP 1776 & 1976 continues their eastbound trek towards Salt Lake City as they near the California-Nevada state line passing through Doyle California on May 7, 1976.
Kodachrome 64 slide.
Of UP's six heritage units, UP 1983 is the one I had not seen the longest (eight years earlier, as of this shot). The angle and clutter in the shot isn't great, but I still wanted to get a shot while it was in Denver. It is currently sitting on the ready track in Denver, awaiting its next assignment.
