Posted by hemiadda2d on October 16, 2012  Isn't this the IPPX Utah Rwy train? They leased UP power didn't they? Or is this a D&RGW crew and train number? I'm confused *???* Posted by James Belmont on October 16, 2012  Both the Rio Grande and Utah Railway ran IPP trains to the mine every day. The Rio Grande used UP power and the Utah Railway ran with their own SD45/F45s. The Utah Railway trains loaded at Wattis Plateau and the Rio Grande at Skyline. The two loaded trains would depart Provo on the Union Pacific Provo Subdivision for IPP in the late afternoon/evenings. Posted by hemiadda2d on October 17, 2012  Thanks for the clarification, James! No matter whose units are leading, the scene is stunning.
