A double or split window view of the world that only the GE 8500 Turbine crews had. What a beautiful view of the open rail ahead this must have been . . . modern in a way even still.

I was able to take this view inside the king of kings today, the cab of UP 6916 a DD40X. I just can not get over how big this twin engine single unit is. Or what it would be like to take a double ... (more)

The business end of OWR&N's steam powered rotary snow blower. This variable pitched blade must be fifteen feet across. A six foot something man won't come up to the center hub. I would love to hea... (more)

I found this SP 1555 Caboose in the back of the Union Station yard. I did not know they had brought this one in to the collection. Guess I need to get out more. I sure miss seeing these.

I thought this Scale Test Car (MPX 194) an interesting find for my day's outing. I don't often get to see a scale car, except back in the mid-west. It was in the last third of a mixed freight cons... (more)

Leaving the Ogden yard, UP 4400 and CSXT 7317 start toward the Great Salt Lake and the west coast with a load of empty auto cars and the second half of double stack containers.

This beauty still looks as though it shuttles cars around the Union Station's retired car yard. A fitting job for a "Geep," and one of my favorite engines of all time.

This GE Turbine, UP 26 is one of the biggest engines I have ever seen, the A-B units with fuel tender are quite an impressive sight. They reach the length of the covered portion and then some . . ... (more)

UP 9177 makes a move on one of the wye's in the Ogden yard. This shot reminds me somewhat of that old CCR song of the late 1960's or early 1970's . . . "Looking Out My Back Door."

South bound UP 3933 and UP 5037 exchange a young lady crew member with another set of UP units heading North out of the Ogden, yard.

Leased motive power, CEFX 139 along with CP 8647 are waiting on one of the inside hold tracks, at the Ogden yard, for a position to come open at the nearby cereal mill.

This little yard tug sits in the yard of the old Ogden Defense Depot, in Ogden, Utah. Not much going on these days. Compared to the time they were supporting our troops in southeast Asia. The Depo... (more)

This Fairbanks Morose 1200 HP switcher was made in 1953 for the Army and still does the yard switching at the old Ogden Defense Depot., which is now a Ogden City owned enterprise. A Army Reserve u... (more)
