Passing Harriman water tank - a photo on Flickriver

Passing Harriman water tank

            The 46-mile Harriman Cutoff over Sherman Hill was completed in 1953 and reduced the ruling grade from 1.55 percent occurring on Tracks 1 and 2, to 0.82 percent for this line, also known as Track 3. Heavy westbound steam-powered trains would take this route and facilities were built to support these locomotives. A westbound UP freight, led by a trio of EMD SD70Ms, passes a water tank that still survived at the location of Harriman, Wyoming, on April 14, 2007. As everyone knows, nothing stays the same, and UP demolished the tank on December 17, 2024.
