West of Brigham City
Here we see a local job pointed eastward toward the Wasatch Range.
The train is sitting between Corinne and Brigham City, Utah. The tracks here, going in the other direction (westward), will join the alignment of the first transcontinental railroad, cross the Bear River, and then head into Corinne. Just west of that small town the track headed in the direction of Promontory ends, but another line heads northward, up to Malad City, Idaho.
I spied this train on my way to the Golden Spike National Historic Site. Two images by Richard Koenig; taken September 7th 2013.
