Union Pacific oil train Thompson Springs, Utah

A Union Pacific oil train passes through the ghost town of Thompson Springs, Utah. You may recognize this town as Radiator Springs from the animated movie Cars. This town was the inspiration for that movie. The 70/60 yellow sign seen at the end of the video means the speed limit for passenger trains is 70 and for freight trains it is 60.

One my favorite areas I would like to railfan along, all of Utah 70/6. Simply usually busy passing through with no time to stop and catch a train.

A symbol of industry racing through the natural beauty of the wilderness. Nice video.

Awesome Catch! Didn't realized the town from Cars was a real place, and on the UP no less!

Fantastically filmed, this UP freight train, in a very unusual, yet beautiful landscape. Thank you for showing me.
