Standing guard over the Utah-Wyoming border the massive cliffs of the Wasatch Mountains divide the rolling grasslands to the east from the salt deserts to the west. The immense features once echoed the bark of the largest steam locomotives on earth. Today they reverberate with the drumming of mighty diesels climbing the Wasatch grade.
In this program we will explore the Union Pacific’s Evanston Subdivision between Ogden, Utah and Green River, Wyoming. This is the classic grade over the Wasatch Mountains where the Big Boy’s once roamed. Highlights include scenic Weber and Echo Canyons, monster 200 car manifests cresting the summit at Wahsatch, and cleaning up a derailment at Peru that wiped out both main tracks. As a bonus, see historic footage of Big Boy 4014’s return to the Wasatch grade while heading to Cheyenne for restoration.
Join 7idea Productions on an amazing tour through northeast Utah and southwest Wyoming. Shot in beautiful hi definition the panoramas of the west come alive on the wide screen!

This one would deserve a five star rating even without the trains; add powerful locomotive lashups struggling up the mountain grades with long strings of freight cars and you’ve got another “must have” production from 7idea. The camera locations are well chosen, and many of them clearly took some effort. The lighting is especially nice, the sound of the trains takes on a different dimension as it echoes through the canyons, and Big Boy 4014 is a nice bonus! Incredible scenery and 7idea’s artistic eye combine to make this an unforgettable railfan experience!

My 1st thought when I seen this video listed…. Where on earth is “Wasatch & is it worth purchasing a video on it?” Am I ever happy I did purchase the video. The scenery is unlike anything I could imagine. Huge trains travel through canyons with breath taking scenery. It is so good, you will want to take a vacation just to see in personally. But this video goes a step further with scenes of Big Boy #4014 in transit to Cheyenne Wyoming. And scenes of a derailment. The sounds of these huge trains in the canyons is to awwww for. Excellent video production
