Western Railroad Discussion > Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018Date: 12/05/18 18:38 Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: cozephyr Union Pacific's Unified Plan 2020 has decided the North Yard, Denver, CO, to Roper Yard, Salt Lake City, Utah, trains will no longer operate. The last M NYRO left Denver early evening December 5, 2018 with UP 7770 up front of a 6x1 train on UP's Moffat Tunnel and Glenwood Springs Subdivisions.

guess this helps save them from putting PTC thru the desert, anderson has talked about doing the same to the CZ Date: 12/05/18 19:30 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: stevelv Had a couple of great days on my few trips to Soldier Summit. However last time there about 3 years ago I spent almost 5 straight hours looking at tracks. Sounds like it's going get even quieter.

But it's precision!!!! It has to be better. [At least that's what the salesman said.] Date: 12/05/18 22:50 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: donner_dude1 So what happens to E/b Grand Junction traffic? GJ to Ogden to North Yard? That's gotta add a couple of days of transit.
It would make more sense to hand over the traffic to BNSF at GJ. Date: 12/05/18 22:56 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: dan roper getting downgraded? less traffic to hold amtrak up

Per "florida581", the MWCRO/MSCWC manifests are now MWCOG/MOGWC. mapboy Date: 12/06/18 00:12 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: dan UP probably wants to sell the land
Date: 12/06/18 01:23 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: florida581 From what I understand, Ogden is now going to be the primary classification yard for the greater Salt Lake area. Roper will only handle traffic bound for the Salt Lake City industries.

The goal of that train is to run from Roper to Provo and back with one crew.

Looks like MRORO will be gone by this weekend. I’m not sure what train or local will handle the Provo traffic. Andrew Date: 12/06/18 07:29 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: MP683 Roper hasn’t really been touched since the DRGW days and the only traffic there is the automotive facility and the locals.
They are keeping two hard jobs. Basically it took a day or many to switch out the traffic where Ogden has inbound and outbound tracks and setup a little nicer. Friend of mine was working Ogden this summer and said OG was a back home for trains, but with the shift in trains that work there will see how that happens. There is a MNYGJ, not sure how often it will run. Date: 12/06/18 07:35 Re: Last North Yard to Roper Yard, Utah, Dec 5, 2018 Author: tomstp Shame to see the Moffat being further cleansed of trains.

So will the "new" MRVOG/MOGRV pair now travel via the Lakeside Sub (avoiding Silver Zone Pass) ? If not, that's an extra 40 miles a trip.

Yes, both will traverse the Lakeside Sub.

become pretty lonely. Amtrak makes sense as Elko/Ogden/SLC. Out |
