"Malcolm Howard's photographs really capture the beauty of both the natural world and the man-made world. His photographs are well composed and literally take your breath away. The Western Mining & Railroad Museum has carried a selection of Malcolm's photographs since 2006, and the visitors love them. His wide selection of photographs appeals to everyone and makes a great memento of their visit to Castle Country. I have been a hobby photographer for years and if I had only one-fourth of Malcolm's talent I would be thrilled!" SueAnn Martell, Director, Western Mining and Railroad Museum www.wmrrm.org |
Helper, Utah, and Its Trains Many of the images in Mr. Howard's photo gallery were captured in and around Helper, UT, a fascinating, small, railroad town in the heart of Utah's coal country. Founded in 1881, Helper was named for the "helper" locomotives that were placed on the heavy coal trains to help them get over the steep mountain grades. Helper locomotives are still used today to assist coal trains in climbing the grade to Soldier Summit. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railway arrived in Helper in 1881-82, and Helper begin to develop as a population center and as a railroad center. "While the railroads around Helper will never again be as they were in those early days, those times live on in the architecture, the photographs, the histories, and the people who strive to preserve the past. With the sound of the trains still singing through the valley, Helper continues to be one of the premier railroad towns in the West, a necessary destination for any diehard rail fan. More importantly, Helper is a town that put down deep roots, tamped down by the thundering weight of the rumbling locomotives - roots that refuse to budge and refuse to die." Excerpted from Rails Around Helper, copyright 2007 by SueAnn Martell Helper is located in Eastern Utah's Castle Country. Helper is ideally situated in Utah's spectacular high desert region. It is surrounded by the Bookcliff Mountains to the North and East and the Wasatch Plateau to the West. It is a scenic 2-hour drive from Salt Lake City and 2.5 hours from Grand Junction, Colorado. |
