Standing guard over the Utah-Wyoming border the massive cliffs of the Wasatch Mountains divide the rolling grasslands to the east from the salt deserts to the west. The immense features once echoed the bark of the largest steam locomotives on earth. Today they reverberate with the drumming of mighty diesels climbing the Wasatch grade.
In this program we will explore the Union Pacific's Evanston Subdivision between Ogden, Utah and Green River, Wyoming. This is the classic grade over the Wasatch Mountains where the Big Boy's once roamed. Highlights include scenic Weber and Echo Canyons, monster 200 car manifests cresting the summit at Wahsatch, and cleaning up a derailment at Peru that wiped out both main tracks. As a bonus, see historic footage of Big Boy 4014's return to the Wasatch grade while heading to Cheyenne for restoration.
Join 7idea Productions on an amazing tour through northeast Utah and southwest Wyoming. Shot in beautiful hi definition the panoramas of the west come alive on the wide screen!
Shot in 2014 and 2016.
2 Hours 45 Minutes
WIDESCREEN DVD or 1080 Hi Definition Blu-ray NTSC No Region Code.

Great video. I visited the Evanston Sub late last year and caught lots of trains. Also fell in love with Echo Utah. It is a beautiful area as well as a great place to photograph trains. My only regret is not watching this DVD prior to my visit, as I am now aware of many more photo opp spots. This of course, only makes a return visit in the future, a necessity. I highly recommend this DVD to any railfan.

This Bluray has saved a lot of time and money, as I can now view the awesome scenic line in my lounge room, thus saving airline tickets etc. It's probably better than being there anyway.
Love the modern power but the classic SD40's in true blue high definition are some thing to behold. I am in awe of this fantastic production. Thank you 7idea.

WARNING: Awesome DVD "Don't Delay", no kidding this DVD is going to sell out quick and for good reason, its incredible the photography, narration, maps and graphics are everything 7ideal Production is all about. It follows the Union Pacific from Ogden UT to Green River WY. The action is non stop, motive power seen is everything from the latest Tier 4 Gevo's, SD70ACe's to classic SD40-2's. Filmed in all four season's heavy UP action is seen in sun, rain and snow. Extra coverage of the UP 4014 Big Boy move is also included. A+++++

I wasn't going to buy this video until I saw who produced it, then I ordered it immediately and I wasn't disappointed. It's the usual high quality production one expects from 7Idea Productions. This is the one producer, any one of whose productions one can buy blind and not fear disappointment. Sure, some are better than others but even the least is excellent. Am I high on 7Idea Productions? You bet! Buy it. You won't be disappointed either, IMO.
