The WP tracks follow Interstate 80 east/west (which is at about 9th South Street). Most of the north/south tracks are on the west side of Interstate 15 (which runs North/South). Here is what I'm thinking you're after. The location where the WP tracks turn north is at about South Temple Street and 700 West Street. The then turn north and run up to the UP's intermodal yard in North Salt lake. You could take any of the surface streets in that area to get there. There is another yard in South Salt Lake located at about 2400 South Street and 700 West Street. You can pretty much drive up and down 700 West to see most of what is available in SLC. If you're in town and have a spare afternoon, drive to Ogden (40 miles north) and see the Union Station Museum and State Railroad Museum (they are at the same location). Here's the link: http://www.theunionstation.org/ Anyway, if this isn't what you were hoping for, let me know. You can also check out www.mapquest.com to get a feel for the location of the addresses i gave you.

Probably just a natural reflex, since "trak" is a mis-spelling while "track" would be a correct spelling, except in the case of "Amtrak". [sigh] Love the mis-matched numberboards on that engine! -Mark http://www.geocities.com/fuzzybroken QUOTE: Originally posted by wes454 QUOTE: Originally posted by bnsfkline Learn to spell Amtrak Gee, sorry.

I would hate to go there expecting to ride behind ALCO designed units and getting stuck with an F40[:(!]. Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.
