Скачать или смотреть UTA FrontRunner! A Quick Train at Woods Cross Station

At the beginning of the summer, I made a goal to shoot every commuter rail system in the United States, and I figured I'd start with the FrontRunner while I was in Salt Lake City.

Utah Transit Authority operates a commuter train through Salt Lake City and the metropolitan area along the Wasatch Front, extending north to Ogden and south to Provo. They run entirely on their own dedicated right-of-way next to existing freight tracks, much like Denver's RTD commuter rail operations, and normally operate every hour in each direction six days a week (Sundays have no service). The line opened in 2008, serving various major suburbs of SLC using MPI MP36PH-3C locomotives, Bombardier bi-level cars, and, until April 2022, they operated ex-NJT Comet I coaches.

Because of its very close proximity to I-15, I chose Woods Cross as my spot for this train. Sure enough, two minutes early, the 11:49am southbound run to Provo thundered into the station. Sadly, no horn action, as the entirety of the route is under a quiet zone.

Enjoy!
