Train Chasing

 
Chasing trains can be an exciting profession, hobby, or whatever you want to call it, as with any other photographic or videography subjects. Some of my most favorite subjects to photograph or video are clouds, sunsets, scenery, trees, old buildings, and especially trains. Some of my favorite local areas for train photography and videography include, Colton, Helper, Price, Wellington, East Carbon, Green River, Crescent Junction (Brendel), Moab, and Thompson. Now that the coal trains have pretty much stopped running except for the unit train from Colorado, train watching has died down quite a lot on this line. Other than two oil tanker unit trains, a few locals to East Carbon now and then, railroading has slowed way down in our area. Some of my favorite locations for videoing is always the Union Pacific local to East Carbon at Mounds in Emery County, and at the entrance to the Republic Landfill (ECDC) in East Carbon. These are two excellent locations to get a great video. The changing from the main line to the branch line to East Carbon in Mounds is worth watching and the sound of the diesels working under a heavy load on the grade to East Carbon makes for a great sounding video. No matter what you like to photograph or video, remember to have fun and please do it safely.

East Carbon City, Bias, Nepotism, and Conflict of Interest

Image
  As of January 5, 2026, East Carbon has a new Mayor, Carolyn Abeyta, one new Councilwoman Rakele Palmer, and one new Councilman Grant Neath, replacing David Avery, Don Logston, and Liz Ferguson. Will there be change? I seriously doubt this very much. I expect the same exact status-quo to carry on until change actually happens. The left wing localized ruling class will continue in power as long as the vast majority of the remaining citizens of ECC continue keeping their heads buried in the ground, by not voting. I predict the next four years to be null and void, as in previous years. Does nepotism and conflict of interest Utah State Code §67-16-9 ring a bell here, our new mayor being married to Councilman Chuck Abeyta should ring it loudly. We still have Jesse Stewart, a police officer also serving as a City Councilman Utah State Code §67-16-9 . Even previous Councilman Phillip Holt at the time was also serving as a police officer for East Carbon City Utah State Code §67-16-9 . ...

East Carbon - How Does the Dog Catcher Get Paid

Image
  That’s easy Sally, the dog catcher has many jobs rolled into one. One day she might be a city councilwoman, the next day a receptionist, and the next day a cop. With all these different jobs the dog catcher has Sally, this keeps other people from having jobs, which keeps the local job base only for friends and relatives. All the other city employees have multiple jobs too, helping to fight the American free enterprise system with applied Democratic socialism. Sally, it’s called nepotism and is part of the great economic system here in East Carbon City that is called Democratic Socialism. Understand Sally, That’s how non-production in a Democratic Socialism society works.  See Sally, the dog catcher like other city employees have multiple jobs and they all make multiple wages, multiple times. It’s like a great pyramid Sally, they are all at the top, and we’re all at the bottom. Think of Am-way, Sally.              ...

SuperBowl Halftime Flop With Bad Booger

Image
  Was this 2026 Super-bowl half time show a success? I guess that depends on how far down the bad bunny rabbit hole you would dare to venture. Politically, it was a big flop. Trying to bring a US game onto a world stage, that no other country gives a damn about, was an already dead gamble. You would of thought that the NFL would have learned, from the political woke one world order NBA debacle from 2021, but apparently they needed to find out for themselves. What were they thinking, no English, countries that don’t even play football, and all in a one world order theme. Something that could only be manufactured in California.
