UP5657 approaches a switch after spotting some hoppers at Intrepid Potash's mine near Moab. After pulling ahead of the switch, it backed up and connected to the tank cars, then headed for the "yard" north of the mine's entrance, where it picked up other cars before heading for Grand Junction. This is the same train I photographed earlier in Bootlegger Canyon.
Photographed from the grade crossing at the
entrance to the mine, looking south.
