"Alligator" at Martin, Utah.
Author: LenKratz

April 1981. Stopped by Martin on our way back to Colorado after chasing the UP double header steam train on its trip to Sacramento for the grand opening of the railroad museum.

Got an upcoming trip to Martin planned for early August. Won't find any alligators there this time.

GrandeGold, you tuned in?

What day were you there...I was with a guy named Rich Hunn & we also had been chasing the UP steam west. I remember getting an OK in the office & that there was one or two others standing on that hillside in front of the office also taking photos as the Utah got the power on the train for the mainline run. Date was April 25, 1981.

Tom, April 24. We chased the steam train as far as Ogden, then headed east for Colorado.

Sorry we missed you...that light dusting of snow on the hill was gone by the next day!
