Fantastic shots!

That's really cool, Bill, that you focus so heavily on branch line operations.  I fear branch lines are becoming an endangered specie. 

Nice pics!!  My favorite is Pic 4!!

My aunt and uncle lived in Tremonton, Ut from about 1946-1952. My first ride there was on the motor M-37-T51 in 1946. By 1950, the only trains were trains #311-312. 
My dad had some health issues so I lived in Tremonton for most of the summer of 1950.   The trains were powered by the 618.  I was able to have many cab rides on the 618 as they switched the yards at Hunts Packing Plant.  During the summer we also saw the 616 and Alco 1181.  
Many thanks for my  being  able to see trains on the Malad Branch 2019.
