This is a heavily used cutoff between I-70 and I-15

I don't get it. Tanker trucks carry liquid. And you don't carry blasting caps and det cord in a tanker. Which one was it?

When the truck blew it pretty much diminished the entire truck.Into small pieces, I guess.

Runs through Utah and into Colorado and ultimately to Massachusetts one way, back into Nevada and then to California the other.
This is south of Salt Lake City about 50-60 miles, up a canyon that leads to Soldier Summit, then down the other side to Price, UT. Ultimately, it leads to Green River, Utah and I-70. As one poster said, it is a heavily traveled route.
When I was in college at BYU, and then later for a couple of years living in the Provo-Orem area, I used to use this route all the time to get back to Texas.
Hope that helps.

It runs from price utah to spanish fork utah where it cvonnects to I-15. it is the cutoff used by truckers who get off I-70 in green river utah to get to Salt Lake City and points beyond. The railroad cut is the tracks used to bring the coal in from coal country to the central utah power project, the largest power plant in utah.

"Some of the debris is still smoldering."
You'd think so, wouldn't you.
Does it have an alternative?

The truck drove from Ensign-Bickford Company, an explosives company, at the mouth of the canyon. The company is also known as Trojan, a friend of mine is the chief chemist there
