Synopsis:
Excerpt from American Railway Engineering Association Bulletin No. 744, Vol. 94: Proceedings, 1994
The photo above and those on the covers were taken near milepost 383 on Southern Pacific's ex-rio Grande coal-hauling line from Grand Junction eastward to Oliver, Colorado along the banks of the Gunnison River in an area known as Escalante Canyon. The line presently carries about 15 mgt per year. Principally from coal mines east of Delta, Colorado. The line leaves the Yards at Grand Junction, where it connects with the Salt Lake city-denver main line, and immediately crosses the Colorado River on a through truss bridge and begins following the Gunnison river upstream as the canyon narrows and the rock bluffs become more dramatic. For many miles, the line is the only man-made presence in the canyon. While most curves and some tangents are welded rail, considerable amounts of bolted rail still exist, and sharp curves and some rock instability make this a challenging line to maintain for the heavy-haul coal operations. A local freight to Montrose also uses the line as far as Delta.
