Repairing a STOP sign at the grade crossing at Knolls, Utah

view map


I pulled off of I-80 at Knolls (Utah Exit 41) to photograph some structures there. When I arrived, two employees of the Union Pacific Railroad were repairing a damaged STOP sign at the grade crossing. It appeared that something had knocked the sign over. They attached it to the stub in the ground with baling wire. They had come west from Grantsville, which is to the right. When finished, they put their tools in the truck and took off down the track.

This view is to the north. In the background: Newfoundland Mountains.

Here’s a shot of the truck from another angle .

Is there a name for this type of truck? I don't see them often, but when the crossing guards go down and one of these rolls by, I always wish I had one.
