Utah and Salt Lake City are consistently high growth areas, in terms of population and economic development. The UTA - Frontrunner, a high speed commuter train, was introduced in 2008 by the Utah Transit Authority, to provide much needed transport. The red, white and blue train runs from Ogden in the north, through Salt Lake City, to Provo in the south. It runs on a single track, using a portion of the historic right-of-way Utah Central Railroad track. Double tracks in sections allow trains to pass each other. The train faces north permanently so the push-pull locomotives run backwards half the time. There are 25 trips a week, carrying 70000 passengers.
