Western Railroad Discussion > Little action at EchoDate: 03/04/15 21:08 Little action at Echo Author: DRGW3014 After a rare snow storm yesterday in northern Utah this winter decided to take a trip up Weber Canyon and Echo Canyon . On the way up Weber Canyon did not see much in the canyon entail I got to Echo there was at Echo local LUJ51 east holding main at Echo took photo of the local and moved up the canyon to see more not much going on do track work at Curvo came back Echo just as local was pulling off main to do work at Echo and wait for LUJ61 coming from Evanston Wyoming . A empty Eastbound Grain Train pulled up just west of Echo and waited for local clear the main and up the canyon the Grain Train went. Little slow but nice to get out.

~Ryan Date: 03/05/15 07:01 Re: Little action at Echo Author: FiveChime Nice photos. Appears that those two old SD40s have been assigned to that job for years as I phtographed them there in 2010.

Brian Stevens Date: 03/05/15 08:46 Re: Little action at Echo Author: DRGW3014 Back in the early 70's when I started railfaning with my dad up Weber Canyon the UP 3200's SD40-2 were the newest thing on Union Pacific that makes me fill old.

------------------------------------------------------- > 2. UP 8152 Echo East Finally, someone found a good use for that pile of ballast at horse crossing in Echo. Seriously though, a wonderful series of shots along UP's historic Echo Canyon route. I'd all but given up on snow this year. You have renewed my hope.
