A similar incident, though fortunately not fatal, happened to a woman on the CZ near Price, several years ago. The door to the outside wasn't locked, she thought she was going to the bathroom, etc. etc. Later the woman was found by locals wandering about and was taken to Castleview Hospital in Price...

Right, the Mid Jordan and West Valley lines wil open this coming Sunday - Aug 7. I will attempt to ride both and shoot some pics on the first day. This will greatly add to the utility of the TRAX network.

Well, Mr. Norman here's what happened, and quite a tale it is. I decided to have us return to SLC on Monday instead of Sunday to make sure equipment would be available. So my wife and I showed up at the SAC station. #6 showed up right on time, and we commenced our trip east in the last sleeper. Goin...

My wife and I are scheduled to catch #5 tonight to Sacramento, get there on Friday, spend the day in Sacramento Saturday and return Sunday on #6. However, #5 is running nearly 12 hours late (has yet to make it to Fraser). So we will be hopping on # 5 tomorrow AM and about 9:30. This is a lark for us...

In answer to the previous post, Bombardiers have replaced the comet cars in almost all consists. Thus each consist has a loco and 3 bombardiers.

Here are some films shot by Gordon Cardall, Bamberger's last living motorman, the last couple of days of electric operation. BTW, we've got to get Cardall's interview on operating the Brills onto youtube.

UTA has proposed to rebuild the southend of Bamberger! As a lifetime Bamberger fan (see avatar) I can scarcely contain myself. My boyhood home (which still stands) on 400 West Street had Bamberger tracks in front of it. Perhaps you read my piece in Trains - Railroad Reading "400 West Railroad&q...

UTA proposes to rebuild much of the Bamberger southend!!! Of course as a lifetime Bamberger fan I'm very pleased. The 400 West section in SLC would literally rebuild Bamberger in that part of town. Truly amazing!

This is not the sort of stuff I keep track of, but I do know some people here in SLC, one in particular, who does. I'll ask him.
