In Utah, there's a "Transfer Station" for garbage located in South Salt Lake, and one in Ogden. For awhile, it seemed that the Union Pacific ran dedicated garbage trains from Ogden with loaded cars south to the transfer station in SSL. Nowadays, the garbage cars are combined with other freight cars. The garbage cars are long black flat cars with ETTX reporting marks (I think), that carry removable oversized gray dumpsters. An overhead crane at the SSL transfer station is used for unloading the cars, and then placing the empty dumpster back on the flat car.
