Western Railroad Discussion > Fun in the snow at Soldier Summit, UtahDate: 03/14/19 08:38 Fun in the snow at Soldier Summit, Utah Author: 2ebright Yesterday seemed like a pretty good day to visit the Helper, Utah-Soldier Summit area, so off I go for the 75 mile trip through the Utah mountains. My previous thoughts about this being a good day to visit Soldier Summit turned out to be dead wrong. But first I went to Helper and to my surprise found a westbound UP coal train in the process of changing crews and cutting in helpers. It turned out to be the CWELB9-12 off of the North Fork Branch in Colorado. I decided to chase it west up Price River Canyon to Summit. A note about the weather. Weather was OK in Helper; not snowing, but totally overcast with a very light breeze. This weather would steadily worsen the further west and higher in elevation I went up the canyon. See pictures 1-4 below:

I'm sure it's not the first time rail fans have helped operating folks who are having a problem.

went from a little rainy to full bizzard going over the top. It was tough not getting run into by the idiots and I was sure glad to get back down the hill in one piece. Out Date: 03/14/19 18:26 Re: Fun in the snow at Soldier Summit, Utah Author: texchief1 Love that No. 3 shot!
