Steam & Excursion > UP 535, 2-8-0, at LaramieDate: 02/09/16 09:47 UP 535, 2-8-0, at Laramie Author: donstrack Here is another Emil Albrecht 16 by 20 print, also from Dean Gray's collection.
UP 535 at Laramie. No date. I have uploaded both images to my online photo albums, in a new album called Emil, Large Prints. https://donstrack.smugmug.com/UtahRails/Emil-Albrecht-Photos/Emil-Large-Prints/i-BPh9LH7/A UP 525-539 were converted from compound to simple, and received Walschaert valve gear. The second photo is a detail showing the unique bend in the mechanism needed for this installation. Don Strack Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/09/16 09:47 by donstrack.

Most likely he's up there to pass signals to the engineer from the foreman and/or field man at the other end of the cut.

Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 02/09/16 14:05 Re: UP 535, 2-8-0, at Laramie Author: donstrack I asked the person who now owns the negative. The photo was taken at Laramie on August 23, 1955.
No comment about the apparently unique valve gear arrangement? Don Strack Date: 02/09/16 16:14 Re: UP 535, 2-8-0, at Laramie Author: PorterNo2 Pretty standard walscharts by the look of it. Basically the same set up as 529 at Nwrm.
