Moving engines on the Uintah

Because of the 65 degree corners on Baxter Pass (not to mention the 7 1/2% grade) the long wheel base on the 2-8-2 locomotives were to long to manage the curves. At the time that engine #30 was delivered to the Uintah in 1911, it was purchased solely for moving freight on the north end of the line after the Uintah had extended its tracks to Watson and Rainbow, Utah. The slow moving Shays were fine for Baxter Pass, but inefficient on the lighter grades of the north end of th eline (although the 5% grade from Rainbow Junction to Rainbow was nothing to laugh at). How exactly the #30 was moved is still a mystery, as I've seen no photos of the move. but it was done in one piece. Engine #40 was moved over in much the same way a few years later (#40 was an inside frame 2-8-2). I have heard the "tender trucks" story, also freight trucks, and also hanging between two flat cars !!! Whatever the case the #40 was moved back over to Atchee in the 1920's the same way, and the #30 stayed in Dragon. After the articulateds arrived it was pretty much in storage in Dragon in a large tin shed. One guy I interviewed grew up in Dragon and remembered sneaking under a loose peice of tin to play in the cab of #30. She was cut up in place in 1939 and came out of the only country she ever new as scrap iron.
