The power for Union Pacific's MNPWC climbs Erda Hill while fall foliage reaches peak color on the nearby Oquirrh Mountains of Tooele Valley. Note the plethora of radio/television translators atop the summit of 9,065 ft. Farnsworth Peak. The mountain is named in honor of Philo T. Farnsworth, American inventor who was the first engineer to successfully transmit an image using electronic means, a discovery crucial to the early development of the television.
