Nostalgia & History > RR Wallin copy slide for an interesting UP locationDate: 11/04/25 09:18 RR Wallin copy slide for an interesting UP location Author: santafe199 Nice shot! But this slide had no location, no date and no photo credit on it. No nuthin’ TIA for any help…
1. UP 189 on this short little outfit near Lake Point, UT*, thought to be in the 1970s. RR Wallin Ektachrome copy slide from the late James W. Watson collection, photographer is unknown. Thanks for the help! Lance Garrels santafe199 *Got some impressive location help, thank you very much! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/05/25 05:41 by santafe199.

That plus what look like military loads on flat cars make quite an interesting photo. My guess would be Utah, Idaho, or Eastern Oregon. Rich Edited 1 time(s).

Google Maps also has the story on the tramway support in the background. https://www.ksl.com/article/46772644/what-remains-of-ksls-old-tramway-may-be-removed-from-oquirrh-range If we could get an Id on the equipment on the flatcars we'd be all set. 'Green army tanks' doesn't count. t4p. Date: 11/05/25 05:44 Re: RR Wallin copy slide for an interesting UP location Author: cozephyr Guessing on the high wide loads - Army Tank retrieval vehicles. Difficult to positively ID at this distance.
