Coal train bound for Trona headed down Spanish Fork Canyon
Author: Paniolo_man

On my wat to Helper today I was able to stop and film a coal train coasting down Spanish Fork Canyon. Coal trains are increasingly uncommon due to the closure of the Intermountain Power Plant, it was delightful to see this one.

West of Soldier Summit, Utah. The Union Pacific RR follows the canyon from Soldier Summit down to Spanish Fork, Utah.

I couldn't give you an exact number, but they are pretty infrequent. The plant has had a lot of downtime for the gas conversion.
