The little community in the background (along the Green River) is called James Town.

Thanks for sharing the photo,

that fill always impressed me,  but the sharp curves across the green river were slow

look at the two new boxcars

Riview got my attention ... and I remembered that I posted a pic some time ago that was taken at 'Riview, WY' and I found it ... it's a Howard Fogg shot from Oct. 1967 that I posted in Nov. 2012

This was originally a helper territory before the realignment in the Harriman era.  You can see the embankment of the original right of way just above the locomotives, curving off to the photographer's left.

Take care,

Mark

You don't need any info on this magnificent shot, just a wow! I would have loved to have seen and heard these machines in action!
