During a few UDOT/UTA meetings this year it has been mentioned that UTA/UDOT are in negotiations to purchase the
Intermountain Power Project's Railcar Service Facility to serve as a light maintenance facility for Frontrunner when it is extended south to Payson. This facility is currently used to service IPP's massive fleet of coal hopper railcars that will no longer be needed when the Coal Plant closes and is replaced with natural gas/hydrogen next year.
I stopped by for a few pictures today. It'll be interesting to snap a few "after" photos in a few years.
It'll be interesting to see what they do with the track layout. Presently the facility is laid out to accommodate comically long cuts of coal cars, the sidings adjacent to the facility are ~2.5 miles long. IPP coal trains stretch to around 110 cars. I assume there will be some reconfiguration to make the facility more accommodating to passenger trains.
