Running 18 hours late due to a UPRR freight train derailment in Oregon, the eastbound Pioneer #26 bypasses Boise cutoff via the UPRR mainline. Shown here at Kuna, ID, #26 is making a rare appearance in the daylight, as well as on a piece of rail that normally didn't see passener service.
Depicts Amtrak's "Pioneer" service, which operated from Denver to Seattle, via Salt Lake City and Boise. The route was discontinued in 1997, thus leaving most of the upper Intermountain region without passenger rail service since.
