Reenactment Ceremony
Title:  Reenactment Ceremony
Description:  This nice small scale ceremony covers the critical moments of the original 1869 event, with a smaller cast and crowd. If you want to see this place when it is absolutely crazy, come back for the 150th anniversary ceremony: I imagine that will be wild!

SD60M!
Title:  SD60M!
Description:  After watching SD40s working the Logan Branch for nearly a month, new power has finally come up here. A duo of wide cab SD60Ms. Think about it, SD60Ms doing branch line work... that is the world we now live in. This is also the first picture on RR Picture Archives of a wide cab in Logan Utah (local railfans attest the first SD-60M units arrived in Logan in 2013)

Triclops Unit
Title:  Triclops Unit
Description:  At the Utah State University library I found a book from 1989 detailing railroad history in that year. Of note was the large sections of the book talking about Union Pacific recieving its first batch of SD-60Ms and how revolutionary they were. Now, 26 years later the SD-60M is no longer revolutionary, working branch lines such as this.

New Power at Logan Utah
Title:  New Power at Logan Utah
Description:  Sheesh, the uploader was broken for a few days; so this is a late picture. Anyway, Union Pacific has switched out one of the two SD-60M units and has now placed UP 1768, an SD-40N on the Logan branch. Here they are parked, idle, on a stub track next to Cafe Sabor (former Logan Station). Although the area is clear of snow in this picture, today when I uploaded the picture all of this place is being slammed in snow.
