The Chase Begins |
| Description: |
Yesterday (1/22/2016) Spencer Peterson and Matt Paulson posted on the Utah Rail Enthusiasts Facebook page that UP 7400 was going to be coming from Hinkle Oregon to Roper Yard in Salt Lake City; by way of the Ogden Sub. I set out to catch her at Cache Junction, were I ran across another railfan; Kent Bankhead. The two of us waited; on opposite sides of the track as the southbound train with UP 7400 met with a northbound train at the siding. Here is a photo of the northbound train slowing down to park in the siding. |

"You Cry" Railroad |

The Utah Central Railway (the UCRY or the "You Cry" as I call it) is one of Ogden's lesser known rail carriers. I rarely see them in action; but UCRY locomotives are often found in the industrial parts of Ogden. |

Power Party |
| Description: |
Several UP units were coupled together in Brigham City. Among them was this particularly interesting SD-40-2; UP 9839. From my understanding when UP gives an SD-40 a number in the 9000 series it is a sign that its as built appearance will soon give way to a SD-40N rebuild. This is the first photo of this SD-40-2 here on RR Picture Archives! |

The SD-60 that had to hang out with the SD-40 units... |
| Description: |
Come to think of it; it is possible this train with over six locomotives on it could be the Malad Local tied down. I am not %100 sure, but the Malad local is known to be power heavy. |

Enjoy the 9000 series number and the weathered paint as long as you can; because next time we see this unit it will probably be an SD-40N. |

Former-Smithfield Station |
| Description: |
The Smithfield Utah train station has found a new life in Logan Utah. The building was moved from its original location and rebuilt here on Logan's Main Street. The new owners then extended the building on the northern side to increase its size, and added a basement. This building is one of three preserved train stations in Logan (the other two being the OSL freight depot, and the current Cafe Sabor Restaurant). The Smithfield Station was a standard UP Hariman era design. Some websites erroneously claim this building was once the Cache Junction station, however local railfans attest to its origins in Smithfield. |

Trouble Ahead... |
| Description: |
A large snowstorm last Saturday has been giving UP an operational headache on their Cache Valley Branch. Snow has pilled onto the tracks particularly at level crossings; where ice is freezing in-between the rails. As of this photo all track south of Lewiston Utah has been cleared of snow; while all track north from there to the terminus at Preston Idaho is still uncleaned. |

In an odd place... |
| Description: |
Since the local train entered the Cache Valley Branch on Tuesday; progress has been slow and the train has been running behind schedule. Normally the crew would begin their Thursday morning at their office in Logan Utah... However due to delays caused by snow the local train is found here at Lewiston Utah; parked on the spur leading to Presto Products. This photo was taken early morning, the crew hasnt arrived yet; although UP MoW trucks were spotted at the scene presumably for more snow removal work. |

More Sunset light at Warner |
| Description: |
My first railfan adventure was back in 2010 here at Warner Utah. While the spot I first visited now rests behind "No Trespassing" signs; I have found a new entrance that took me even closer trackside. When I first visited the signals in the area were old "target" signal lights' now they are all modern black hood signals probably installed in the effort to introduce PTC protection to Union Pacific's rails. |
