This is Echo, Utah with the Ideal Cement plant that made the iconic Red Devil brand of bagged cement. Here the operator is switching 2 hoppers of coal across the trestle to leave at Ideal. He is using the Echo steam goat, but his road consist is a pair of RS-2's visible under the coal tower. Echo has a 3 track yard (17 feet long tracks), and one of these tracks is the beginning of the Park City Branch. It is the outer track that continues on to hidden Park City Utah. The steep grade of this hidden track can be seen. The Park City Local job leaves Ogden (far end of this bench), switches Echo, continues to Park City, switches it, and returns to Ogden, leaving any east bound cars at Echo for the Ogden-Green River Local.
