As long as you don't mind cold water lol. Here's the Google maps and the Wikipedia link for it. It's a really beautiful area. maps.app.goo.gl/mxsPyzt3NKs1gnLRA en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Geyser

Oh really!? I'll have to watch it, i like Hobo Shoestring.

I really like it also!

yes I like

Each locomotive weighs between 350000 lbs to 400000 lbs, each car carries 100 tons of coal, and the train is roughly going about 10 to 15 mph.

Thank you!

I think that's a very interesting fact!

You're welcome!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes they were! I'm not sure how fast they were going, but track speed is 50mph. There's a third video of this train where they were going through the next town know as Wellington Utah.th-cam.com/video/fdCJXkpBamA/w-d-xo.html

Yes, it was interesting and I like that they honked at me.

Thank you, I appreciate you watching! I really enjoy your videos too!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

One of the gp8's were scrapped, so there's only one of them. It was the one that had a flat plate on the front. They also have the Grey SD50 and the EX UP SD60 feat in this video. It's just those 3 locomotives they use to switch the oil cars around between Wildcatyard and Martin yard. Union Pacific use their power to bring empty tankers in and then to take loaded trains out.

@ Oh, they cut one up? That’s a shame. Good to know the other is still working,

@joshthetrainfan yes indeed it is a shame. They took the motor and took the trucks out and left the cab, frame, and carbody sitting in Martin next to the yard wye by the maintenance shop.

@ wow so it is literally a shell of its former self

Yes it is basically just a shell. What they left of it has been sitting their since January of this year.

Yes, i was surprised to see how clean it was.

I think so too!

Yes they are! Thank you, I almost missed them lol.

Yes they are, I like their power they use.

Yes it was!

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Heck ya!

It is.

Thank you!

Yes indeed! The couplers are very strong, I have a broken knuckle that was given to me, and it weighs about 80 lbs or about 36 kg!

Lol indeed 🤣

Your fake.

Thank you for your comment! Soldier Summit is located in eastern Utah. It has a ruling grade of 2.5% or 1:40, on both going up and going down, hence why the need for so many locomotives. I really like your description of the coal trains you see. I'd love to see one's that long! Here's a link to a website with more information on it: www.drgw.net/info/SoldierSummit

@jamesedwards9857 I would happily post the video directly onto your page or, even simpler, directly into your comments like I can on Facebook. I have not figured out how to accomplish that task on TH-cam yet. Still in beginner stage here lol

@robertgates5053 Unfortunately, youtube doesn't let you post videos or links in the comments. But if you're using your phone, in the regular video app you can use the Little + button on the bottom of the screen to upload videos, or you can also use the yt studio mobile app. Or if you're on a computer, you can use the yt studio website to upload videos directly. Also, if you want to post your Facebook profile and I'll friend or follow it with my account.

@jamesedwards9857 I will get it figured out, by hook or by crook lol

Unfortunately I don't know any places, look on Facebook or mabye try asking your coworkers.

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked the video!

Yes, indeed the world would surely be a different place without them.

Yes it is!

I'm glad you liked it!

Engineer farted.

Thank You! Greetings from the USA to Portugal! Watch the other videos just before this one to see the beginning of this trains journey and the rest of it before this video.

@@jamesedwards9857 i will, my friend.

@LisbonRailProductionsandF1 Great thank you. I hope you enjoy them!

@@jamesedwards9857 oh yeah.

@@jamesedwards9857 do you like model trains.

No, they are loaded. Watch the other videos of this train to see the cars from above.

I was also surprised to them! They're definitely at least 30 years old.

Thank you! 😊

I was about 500 feet~ across on the other side of the canyon zoomed in about 5x.

Yes, they certainly were! That's why I love BNSF trains in Utah bc they seem to have more variety than UP trains. But that's also just bc it's UP territory, so there's not as much of a chance for them to have foreign power.

​@@jamesedwards9857 Are BNSF coal trains on this route a regular occurrence? Any idea where they load?

@BoostedFridge no they don't run coal trains very often on this line. but they do have multiple manifest trains that run between Denver Colorado and Provo Utah that use the line, and those are almost daily each direction. Also I don't know where they get loaded at i assume somewhere east of Denver, since they took this train West from Denver over the Moffat pass and then Soldier Summit and points further.

@@jamesedwards9857 They could possibly load at Price and head west from there. I have seen them at Garfield headed west on the old WP tracks (now UP) headed toward Elko.

@snoopysanta1 Utah Railway used to load at savage between Wellington and Price, but now it's just UP that loads from there. The BNSF loads them somewhere in Colorado or elsewhere.

Great! Thank you! I'm extremely proud of how it turned out.

What do you mean?

Yes

Yes

That's really cool!

Thank you!

Many thanks! The ex UP locomotive is a SD60, so it has a EMD710 motor, and the grey one is a SD50, so it has an EMD645 motor. So if you listen closely, you can hear the slight differences between the two of them.

@@jamesedwards9857 Yeah pretty killer.. Thanks for the explanation too 👍🏼

Your welcome!

I think so too! It's such a shame that the G&W painted most of them in their boring orange and black corporate colors.

Thank you! I wish it was the Utah railway doing instead of UP, but it's at least good that they still use the yard.

Yes indeed! Thank you!
