Jim and Lyndi's 2018 ZR-1 Road Trip to Glacier NP, Western Canada and the Rocky Mtns - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

North of Flaming Gorge we stopped in the town of Green River for gas and a rest break. Green River is small town that now is a rest stop on I-80 and a Union Pacific Railroad interchange and maintenance yard.

The freight depot caught my eye and we went over to see the building. We found a cross walk bridge that crossed the tracks and we went up and across to see the locomotives that were parked in a service area:

The Green River yard has a small classification yard:

There was nothing moving in the yard so we crossed over and looked around the town. On our way back, Lyndi heard a train coming and we saw a freight train enter the yard and stop at the depot:

It was joined by a second train a few minutes later and then a third train came in to the yard from the west:

After a change of crews, the trains moved out and cleared the yard:

to be continued.....
