Nostalgia & History > UP in Laramie?Date: 05/03/16 17:31 UP in Laramie? Author: donstrack Is this Laramie?
There are lots and lots of ties, or sticks of rail stacked up in the background. The GP unit is likely of of the UP 295-299 series units, which had both steam generators and large pilot snow plows.

Author: turbine No Don, it looks more like Cheyenne to me with the taller buildings in the background and the track layout.View looking south to north.

Larry, I agree, looking northwest across the east end of the Cheyenne yard. Mark Date: 05/03/16 20:55 Re: UP in Laramie? Author: UP6936 I don't think it is Cheyenne. I don't know what the big structure in uppper right area is, and I don't see the Capital in the picture. Which would be clearly visible from this location.

Tower and depot out of frame to the left, capital bldg out of frame to right. Mainlines would be just beyond the gondolas seen in upper right of the photo above the cabeese.

Taken from the south approach of the Logan Ave. bridge, as shown in the attached Google street view, and the attached USGS topo map from 1961. Thanks. I never thought of Cheyenne. Don't know why. Don Strack   Date: 05/04/16 05:49 Re: UP in Laramie? Author: Bob3985 Don, I agree. It is Cheyenne. The capitol dome can be faintly seen just to the left of the smokestack and I believe that is the hospital being built.
Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 05/04/16 09:58 Re: UP in Laramie? Author: UP6936 The first picture shows them building the Federal Building downtown. That is an image I haven't seen before. Yeah it is Cheyenne.
Date: 05/04/16 10:27 Re: UP in Laramie? Author: callum_out Don the one big giveaway on the shot is that there is nothing in the Laramie skyline to make it a skyline!
