UP's Shafter Subdivision

Author: Rodney J. Sorensen

The Union Pacific's Shafter Subdivision extends from the copper smelter at Kennecott Copper Corp., Utah to Elko, Nevada. This route to the west coast precedes the Lucerne Cutoff across the Great Salt Lake. This line winds its way through some of the most barren and desolate country in the United State. This album contains the Union Pacific's motive power along this stretch of the Union Pacific's route.
