Continuing our journey across the historic route of the Oregon Short Line, we will explore the Pocatello Subdivision between Montpelier, Idaho and Granger, Wyoming. The classic western backdrop of eastern Idaho and western Wyoming creates a beautiful setting for trains to run through.
This program begins at Montpelier and heads east along the Bear River through mountains and valleys once traveled by pioneers on the Oregon Trail. The rails enter the State of Wyoming near Chausse and leave the Bear River at Leefe for a route over the mountains near the Fossil Butte National Monument. Trains pass the mining towns of Kemmerer and Diamondville as they follow the Hams Fork River to the connection with UP's Overland Route at Granger.
Long stack trains frequent the line, along with manifests, unit soda ash, and grain trains. Locals keep busy working between Montpelier, Kemmerer, and Opal.
UP's fleet of engines include several rebuilt General Electric AC's now classified |
