        The Meadow Valley Wash (MVW), located at the heart of Union Pacific's Caliente Subdivision, is a spectacular sight. The mix of harsh desert terrain to the south, and the rainbow of colors found in the sandstone cliffs of the north, combine to create one of the most awe inspiring sights I have found in the Southwest.  This 80 mile stretch of track winds through canyons, meadows, broad valleys, and stark desert. There are several tunnels, numerous bridges, and many sidings where frequent meets occur. Trains are long, colorful, and plentiful. The line enjoys approximately 20 - 25 trains per day, with most being in the daylight hours. Follow this link to the Maps Page for this area.
        This page will attempt to highlight the area between Moapa and Caliente, NV.  The north area will be defined as track north ( RR EAST ) of MP 418.0, the west switch of the siding at Carp, NV, and the area to the south ( RR WEST ), is well, obviously south of that point.  The area around Carp provides a natural geological break, since there is a significant change in the terrain and style of the wash. North has the color and south has the desert.
