Thirties Thursday, UP style - We can handle it.
Author: run8diesel

UP 856 leads the Park City local westbound at Morgan UT on June 22, 1975. Looks like she picked up a 'hangar queen' at Echo for the trip back to Ogden.

Seems like that beacon doesn't do much good back there.
Great pics, thank you!

Pretty good horsepower per ton rating in the second photo. I was around the UP a lot in the 1970s and the beacons didn't seem to do much. They started to disappear in the '80s.
