Broke down in Helper in our bus headed to Las Vegas to get married. From the moment I stepped out of the bus to assess the damage we were welcomed. From the Trucker at the overlook "where the video begins " to the diesel shop that took us in and allowed me to rebuild my engine in their shop. Thanks Don. We were treated like family or better. We have made several trips back. We even had our wedding with our Utah family a few years later. A blessing from God we lost our engine and gained family. Never made it to Las Vegas, and never regretted it.

One of the reasons why I love your videos, and what sets you apart from other KZitemrs, is your knowledge and appreciation of architecture. I find myself nodding and verbalizing, "Yes, I agree," and so on along with your commentary. The mural in Price reminds me of the work of Diego Rivera, somewhat in style, but more overtly in subject matter. There is an amazing mural in the Detroit Institute of Arts by Rivera that puts the worker (the auto industry factory worker) front and center and the "boss man" a comparatively smaller character. The mural in Price seems to pay homage in a similar way to the men and women who get things done every day, sometimes risking their lives.

There are very few manned helper engines in the U.S. nowdays. Most of the engines you see are added into trains as DPUs or Distributed Power Units that are in remote control from the lead engine. Excellent video, liked it much!

In Helper Utah, the helper engines are places in the middle of a coal train. The coal train is around 104 cars with DPUs. Once the northbound train reaches Helper, the train is split in the middle and helper engines are added, and the train is recoupled. The helper engines the help push the train up through Kyune, (which is amongst the steepest R&R grades in America) and up to Colton, UT. Once at Colton, the helper engines are then removed from the train. The train continues north and the helper engines go back down Price Canyon to Helper and wait for another coal train. I worked for Union Pacific RR as a train conductor for about 3 years and ran this route a couple of times.

From Utah and the church in Price was built for the large Serbian population who came to work the Coal mines in the nearby hills. The electric character in the mural was known as 'Ready Kilowatt" and was the mascot for the old Utah Power and Light Company back in the 60s and 70s. He was featured in TV commercials during that era.

Not disagreeing with you. I lived there, in amongst the greeks. Did not say there were no Serbians, just didn’t know they were there, personally. I am sure they were welcomed at the Hellenic Church. There were “greek towns in Hiawatha and Columbia. Some did work in the mines, many were sheepherders and many owned multiple businesses. The current mayor is Greek.

I never said there were no Greeks in Price and surrounding burgs. Never said that! What I said was that the Serbs & Croats worked the coal mines in Carbon County like my Uncle-in-Law. I doubt Carbon County has ever had a population over 20,000 people so, be it Greek, Croat or Serb there really weren't that many of any of these ethnicities in that area. Mostly WASP's and adherence to the LDS faith comprised the majority of that county's population. Enough said.

The trains were used to bring men up the mountain and coal down. That's why they have the miner statue there. Price, Utah, the next stop was where they weighed and set the price for the load. Also Butch Cassidy robbed the Helper Coal Company which is another famous connection of the Old West. Believe it or not, I was invited to give a paid poetry reading there when I was on a book tour of the west back in 1978. Very cultural little town. P.S. The message of the Price mural is that the work of the coal miners fueled the generators and brought electricity to the West.

Thank y'all's for the relaxing drive through my Hometown of Salt Lake. And. My Home State of Utah. Where my heart yearns to be, Right at this moment. The feel is FAR MORE RELAXED. Family Oriented. Than the lawless Nevada Territory. Where you are able to cut the tension with a knife. I'm sure there may haunted enclaves in Utah. Those demonic spirits cannot stand the light from All of The People's Hearts. Who. Love God soooooooooooo much there. That you must move to Utah. Besides being Texas' Little Brother... There truly is sooooooooooooo much history that shaped. Not only the State. The Entire Nation. With the 2002 Winter Olympics. In Salt Lake. Only 5 Months after the inside job of 9/11 occurred. Which brought this nation together. To heal. Which...Utah is STILL GROWING From those historic Winter Olympics. That made me PROUD To BE. A UTAHN. FOREVER!!! The list of places to visit is too numerous. However. May I request you to visit the historic Mountain Bike Capital of the World. Since y'all's nearby. In Moab, Utah. You'd be doing yourselves. And. Your viewers A Real Disservice. Not to visit there. The Beauty of The Region. Is PRICELESS!!! Visit the Entire Downtown District. With its STUNNING BACKDROPS!!! That you both will treasure. FOR A LIFETIME. You'll return for more. GUARANTEED!!! After Moab. Let The Holy Spirit guide you through the San Rafael Swell ( I - 70/ US 50 ) Follow 70 to the Utah 24 exit to Hanksville. Through the Big 5 MOST BEAUTIFUL National Parks IN THE WORLD!!! You won't regret it. Be safe out there. HAVE FUN!!!
