Southern Pacific Trailer Train pushing up the grade towards Soldier Summit, Utah. USA. SP had adquired the Rio Grande but had trackage rights even before that. The Santa Fe and Utah Railroad also had long standing trackage rights. I distinctly remember those Golden Pig Trailers. 1980s maybe?

Next screenshot shows those Golden Pig Service trailers in closer detail. The Mesa formations on the mountains should have horizonal strata, but I am having no success with that. Steep mountains automatically go vertical despite my best efforts of rotating the angle while painting textures on the formations. Off to the right in the distance can be seen raw DEM geography, yet to have textures applied.

View from the cheap seats high above the action! From here back down to Helper, Utah scenery and trackage is done. Ten miles maybe? Need to measure but in desert if you already have DEM geography its possible to make rapid progress. So maybe 60 miles yet to go to Provo, Utah. I never finish a route, trying to stick to this one.
