Western Railroad Discussion > East bound's at Laramie, WY.

My wife and myself made a Laramie, WY trip, Monday, Jan. 26, 2015. She is a photographer, too. This trip was her trip. I wasn't planning shooting any trains. Sandy wanted to shoot some things around Laramie. She has gone with me, when I was taking train photos. I was repaying her this trip, as it was her day. While we were downtown, I went up on the walk way bridge. She came up there later on.

1. First east bound arrived at 203 PM. It was a manifest which was a 3 X 1. It had the 8810-7488-2234 on the head end. The 7746 was the DPU. I couldn't tell if the 2234 was on line.

2. Second east bound arrived at 215 PM. It was a manifest, too. It was set up as a 2 X 2. 8501-7782 on the head end. The DPU was 7401-5212. Sandy even tried taking a shot of the second train.

We left Laramie and headed west for some other photography.

Nice sunny views of Laramie's old downtown with the vintage buildings that front the tracks. In a bigger city, you would be trying to shoot through a chain-link fence tunnel over the whole bridge, if they let anybody up there at all. Doublestacks slide under that bridge so close they create a vacuum. If they ever tore down that footbridge, Laramie would not be the same, would it? === === = === JLH

Never been up there, very nice pair of shots.

Rough winter. ;-)

Yes, a very rough winter. It was 60 degrees in Laramie that afternoon. Plus, there wasn't any wind, either. I was up there in December, it was about the same. We spent some time up at Hermosa. I was walking around with a down-vest, no other coats. It was calm that afternoon.

You never know what you will get either at Cheyenne or Laramie.

I have a close relationship with that 8810, I drove her on her maiden revenue leading trip into Denver.

What a cool concept, having a spouse with the same interests! Lucky man...

I chased Sherman Hill yesterday and it was windier than the dickens lol! Guess I should've opted for Monday instead!

Nice shooting!! Especially like the 1st.
