The rumor that UBRY and Tennessee Pass are related was started by an overeager Trains Magazine writer who passed off their own speculation as fact; Trains had to issue a redaction and note explaining that the statement was entirely a fictitious guess shortly after.
UBRY also will not be taking trains to Helper. The interchange will be at Kyune, about 14 and a half miles northwest of Helper and deep in the Spanish Fork Canyon.
