Enjoy powerful diesel locomotives as they battle the rugged southwestern U.S. – as the Union Pacific heads west over the Caliente Subdivision. This 240 mile section of mainline runs between Milford, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada. This line is a major portion of Union Pacific’s route between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. The geography on both sides of the town of Caliente is fascinating and our cameras take you to both the Meadow Valley Wash and the Clover Creek Canyon. This is a remote region rarely seen on a railfan DVD! This is rugged territory with many tunnels and small bridges. The action is nonstop with all types of revenue freight. You’ll watch a ballast work train, then later hop aboard the front of the locomotive for a different view as you see some of the tunnels of Clover Creek Canyon. You’ll see hotshot double stacks that require pushers on the eastbound 2% grade east of Caliente, and you’ll see Amtrak’s Desert Wind, which no longer operates. From desert to canyons you see loads of action including 70 mph pacing scenes and even some winter shots.

This program showcases UP freights in action on the Caliente Subdivision between Las Vegas and Milford, UT. This program also shows scenes of Amtrak’s discontinued Desert Wind.

The producer has done a nice job capturing the feel of what is largely a rugged, desolate stretch of railroad. The camerawork is well done and creative, and video from two notable locations on the Caliente Sub … Meadow Valley Wash and Clover Creek Canyon … is especially nice, with dramatic lighting and great train sounds. The footage is now more than thirty years old, which makes for some nice “remember when” moments — contemporary railroading when it was shot, transformed by time into a nostalgic look at paint schemes, locomotive types and freight consists from a generation ago. It’s a program that deserves a spot in any railfan video library.

This 1992 Video was Shot From 1989-1991 by Kenny & Ronald Durham, the narration is 75% minimal sadly, and I just don’t know what to say about it.
