| Utah Railway's Provo Switcher performing switching duties with a vintage Burlington Northern GP38 on November 17, 1997. As result of the merger between Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in 1996, BNSF was granted trackage rights across the former Rio Grande and Western Pacific Mainlines between Denver and Stockton,CA. BNSF hired Utah Railway for their local switching agent between Provo and Ogden. To accomplish this Utah Railway leased old ''Rent-A-Wrecks'' in the form of ex-Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, Mid-South and two former Illinois Central SD24's rebuilt to SD20's by Omni-Trax. |
