This documents the first time I have stood at the apex of a wye. This abandoned wye is at Marblehead, Utah and is part of a railroad spur that served the (now razed) Marblehead lime plant, which is in the distance at left.

The nearby main line, just to the right of me---see the poles) has belonged to the Union Pacific Railroad since January 1983, when it absorbed the former owner (Western Pacific Railroad).
