That's a wild (or wide) photo, Chris.  Cool.

About 8mm fisheye is my guess.

Cool photo. It does emphasize how erosion effects the cliffs though.

We drove over to Potash from Moab last September. My wife and daughter thought it was a really neat side trip. We saw a "blue and yellow" (locomotive) work train removing rocks along the right-of-way just before we got to Potash. Looked like a two man crew doing everything. Looked like a private company doing the work on contract. The loco
was marked GREX 6000 with SPS above the number. I don't know who operates the Potash trains. Maybe someone can enlighten me on who runs the operation and the
frequency of the trains, when the line is open and in use. Beautiful drive through the canyon, along the Colorado River. Milwaukee Railfan

My guess is the panoramic feature on a smart phone.  Still a great shot to show the damage.

Union Pacific operates the potash trains and they used to run about once a week.

Good point about the height of the cliffs.  Impressive work combining all the photos.
