The Utah Seniority District is part of the Rocky Mountain Service Unit. There are seven major terminals that employees can work out of, located across Utah and eastern Nevada. There are also several jobs and locals that work out of smaller yards and terminals outside of the main seven.
Ogden Utah is the largest terminal with the most jobs and employees. It has multiple locals, multiple yards, and crews who work there can take trains not only across Utah, but to Nevada, Idaho, and Wyoming. With so much of the work force located here, there is a good chance you'll work out of Ogden at some point.
Roper terminal, located in South Salt Lake Utah, is the second largest terminal. It has the most locals of any terminal in the hub. Currently the lowest seniority terminal in the seniority district, there is a good chance you'll work here at some point during your early career.
Provo Utah is a small terminal that is high in seniority. Most work here involves coal, oil, and natural gas trains.
Milford Utah is another small terminal, mostly existing as a halfway point between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. It does have a couple locals that service nearby industries.
Helper Utah is yet another small terminal with high seniority. Historically it existed as an intermediate point in which heavy coal trains could be "helped" up the mountains on their way to Salt Lake City, though now it also handles oil and natural gas trains.
Arden Nevada, usually simply referred to as Las Vegas, is a medium size terminal that has numerous locals, but also handles rail traffic heading to and from the southern California ports.
Elko Nevada, the smallest terminal in the hub, straddles the line between the Rocky Mountain Service Unit and the Roseville Service Unit. It exists as an intermediate point between Salt Lake City and Ogden, and Reno Nevada, where trains can be recrewed.
