Remarks & Notes 
An FRA track geometry test train has stopped at the west end of Rio Grande's Thistle Yard. D&RGW business car 'Wilson McCarthy' is along for the ride, spotted near the location of 1983's mudslide disaster that dammed the Spanish Fork River and buried both the railroad and US Highway 6 under 300 feet of mud.
