SOLDIER SUMMIT
The rugged beauty of the American West comes alive in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. From snow-covered peaks, to sheer cliffs and deep canyons containing a wealth of minerals and history, this land has been witness to a battle that has lasted for over 130 years...The battle of trains over Soldier Summit.
7idea Productions paid several visits to this former Rio Grande line and offers a stunning look at mountain
railroading in the Wasatch during the fall and winter seasons. Union Pacific coal and merchandise trains are seen daily with manned helpers used on heavy westbounds. BNSF makes an appearance via trackage rights and Amtrak’s California Zephyr slips through the night.The Utah Railway steals the show with their incredible power lash-ups of Morrison Knudsen MK 50- 3’s and six mid-train swing helpers!
Heading west out of Helper, you’ll witness trains thundering through the Price River Canyon.View trains racing through Colton as they march up the east side of Soldier Summit! See all three levels of the Gilluly Loops as we hike through this remote section of the railroad and visit the famed Thistle Tunnels. From beautiful fall weather to heavy blowing snow, our hi-definition cameras caught it all for you to enjoy in the comfort of your living room.This is mountain railroading you can see and feel!
