The geology in SE Utah, where I live, is quite a bit more complex/complicated than what I can show with a small layout. I’m showing a lot of red-rock but really less than 2 scale miles of it total on the layout. I wanted the coal mine and in this area the coal seams are in formations above the red-rock formations. In the area of the coal mine I created a dip in the formations to show both the red-rock and the coal seams in close proximity to each other.

My railroad is of course 95% fictitious as UP never really penetrated the area’s red-rock country very far although ….

…. they do have a branch line that shows what could have been if they had gone further. Click on the image or ( HERE ) for a great video of this branch line and there are more on YouTube.
