Four Utah Railway Engines were loading a coal train at the Willow Creek loadout just east of Castle Gate. Three were SD40's (#9003, 9001 & 9010) and one F45 (#9013). They loaded half the train and then dropped it. Picked up the remaining empty half, pulled up hill through the loadout and backed down loading. Once complete they reassembled the train. Seven more SD40's were cut in and the train headed to Provo. |
