Westbound Deseret Power Railway E60C's; DPR-1, DPR-2 and DPR-3 (ex-NdeM EA031 - only Mexican unit converted to DPR's 50Kv system). The 44-loaded coal car train was the first run of three to the Deseret Generation & Transmission Bonanza Power Plant that day. Train was just east of Road 45 underpass in Utah. Tuesdays are typically the busiest day of the week when everything is working properly at the Deserado Mine.

The 44-car empty eastbound train had departed the Deseret Generation & Transmission Bonanza Power Plant, upper left. Train was just west of the Old Bonanza Highway underpass in Utah. The train takes less than an hour to run between the Deserado Mine Loadout and the Bonanza Power Plant.

Rugged, virgin country is the territory the Deseret Power Railway operates. This view from a red rock outcropping is just south of Blue Mountain, Colorado. The days' second loaded westbound train had departed the Deserado Mine Loadout about 4:15 PM. It took about 10-minutes to reach this location.

Old Bonanza Highway ends at State Highway 45 a well maintained road five miles northwest of Bonanza. The power plant is behind the photographer in this view. The Bonanza Power Plant was about seven miles northwest and can't be missed driving Hghway 45. No services at Bonanza, Utah.
