Potash Branch - The Cut

The branch is mostly obvious along the highways, but this is not so obvious, right next to the road, it crosses a number of washes on a variety of trestles and has some huge fills. Much of the original work was done by unemployed uranium miners - and notw the line will move the huge tailings pile to Crescent Junction. If you're going to be in the area this summer there will be a lot of repair activity, email me if you want directions, etc.
