    So many familiar scenes and landmarks. In winter 1978 friends and I took this same trip for train chasing. Sacramento to Provo, Mapleton, Thistle, Soldier Summit, Helper, Price, Green River. We caught the Rio Grande Zephyr a couple of days. Also spent the night at the Utah Railway yard. Alcos! We traveled and cold camped in my VW bus. See my avatar. Froze our asses, our water and had to warm the oil sump one morning with the catalytic heater before the bus would start. Our trip back to Sacramento we kept going South to the Grand Canyon. On our way back we also stopped at Tehachapi Loop for more chasing. Great Trip. Recently scanned the slides and working on a slideshow. Nice work here on your part. Thanks for sharing.

    When the first thing you see is a heritage unit. You know it's going to be a great day.

    My dad was in the coal business all his life and in 1967 took us to this area for a family vacation. He always talked about potash and loved this kind of scenery. Watching this made me feel like he was here with me. Your videos are gorgeous and tranquilizing and so informative. My husband Richard is your biggest fan and I'm your new one. Thank you so much for this excellence. ❤

    One of my best railroad memories happened on the UTAH in Provo, and to make it sweeter, it was on National Train Day. A friend and I noticed that their was some Aussie units as well was the MK50-3s. Also was their was a Utah Railway employee. I asked first thing if we could check out the interior of the MK50-3s. He told have at it, but be aware of your surroundings. Then go and see him once we was done. So we seen the interior of 5001, 5006 & 6062, a SD50S. Also on hand was a GP38-2 in fresh paint. After we photographed the units we went in and let him know that we was fine but things just got better. He had waiting for us was a cold bottle of water and a true Utah Railway hat. No orange at all on the hat. Very awesome day. Earlier down in Ogden on display was UP 1989 and 1996!. That day will be hard to top that one off. Thanks for bringing back the memories Delay in Block!

    Great scenery and a nice mix of trains. Wife and I visited Utah in 1993 - so it was good to see some of those dramatic landscapes. You guys do a great job with content and narration.

    Thank you for documenting the trains on this video especially the last segment on the Utah Railroad, Drayton! Your efforts at documenting current railroad history are greatly appreciated along with the historical perspective that you add to current railroad operations. I really appreciate all the effort you put into your video productions.

    Always giving the best video shots and best historical informations. Drayton DIB is the best RUclips railfan channel in my opinion. He covers all the US of A. No discrimination there. Keep up the work. I enjoyed DIB during the pandemic March 2020 to now. Thanks

    Enjoyed your excellent video and appreciate very much you giving the viewer information about the equipment and the locations. I always enjoy watching just trains but I like to learn more about railroad operation and equipment. The scenery in Utah during the winter just makes the viewing that much better. Thanks
