To learn more about the uranium tailing train and the dangers still abundant for the Colorado River and those of us who live downstream, please visit MoabRail.com. BTW, great shot of the “Train of Pain”, from above.

Cheers,

Moab Jim

Beautiful. The color of the engine looks like you planned it!

Thanks!

Hi Carl. You joke, but back in the days this area was mined, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of those tailings didn’t end up in the river. It is a different (better) world today when it comes to that stuff. The angled cliffs has me all messed up as well – I figure as long as the train is level.

Hey Ron,

“train schmain” – they should just leave the trailings there .. dump ‘em in the river where they can’t be seen and won’t get in anyone’s way. Did you suggest this?

The lean on the cliffs almost makes this photo look like it needs a rotation.

All that said – wow, there are some cool rock formations just in this scene alone – what a great place.

j/k on the trailings, of course.

Cheers

Carl
