Remarks & Notes

The Thistle Tunnels are twin bores under Billies Mountain in Utah, constructed by Morrison-Knudsen after a massive mudslide buried the town of Thistle in floodwater and closed the Rio Grande main line in 1983. Passing through one of the curved bores on Track 1 is a westbound Union Pacific helper set dispatched to Castilla to help a heavy eastbound UP freight over Soldier Summit.
