SP South or Eastbound Detour Train in Idaho, 3-16-1995
Author: RailRat

Cant remember why, but South/Eastbound SP trains had to take this detour route through Idaho, due to a flood or washout somewhere, for at least few days. This location is West of Pocatello, Eastbound on the UP mainline.

Looks like a PTLAF to me, but I don't remember any SP PNW service disruptions from that time, so don't know what happened.

Thanks for the post.

I think something happened like maybe a bridge washout or something on the eastbound Nevada/Utah ROW?
