Model Railroader Photo of the Day: Moving safely on the Utah Belt

Maintenance-of-way crews play an important role in keeping trains moving safely on the Utah Belt. Eric Brooman of St. Peters, Mo., photographed this work extra, with a spreader for shaping ballast and ditches, waiting in the siding at Jemez, N.M., on his HO scale layout.
