Passenger Trains > 5&6 in Eastern Utah

I spent the weekend camping around Sego, I managed to snag a decent video of Saturday's #5 and Sunday's #6 in the area. On my way down I stopped along the tracks near Green River to take a stroll and enjoy the sunshine. While I was there a trooper pulled up and informed me that the railroad has been unhappy with people hanging around the tracks recently. I promised to keep my distance from the tracks and he went on his way.

Where is "Sego"? You mean Sagers?

Sego is a mining ghost town east of Thompson Springs, UT. It supplied coal to the D&RGW. I'll attach a few pictures of the scenery.

There are also some ancestral drawings on a mesa "wall" just north of Thompson Springs, which I learned about many years ago from an AC on Number 6 -- back in the days when Amtrak personnel on the CZ provided a bit of local commentary during their run.  

I later visited those markings during a later auto drive through eastern Utah.  The figures have a certain "outer space aliens" look to them.

I believe I also photographed the drawings in question:

Those are so mysterious and fascinating cause the same figures can be seen all over the western US.

Great videos by the way to the Original Poster as well!
