Western Railroad Discussion > A Couple from YesterdayDate: 08/27/13 09:17 A Couple from Yesterday Author: FrontRangeTrains Monday's are usually my busy days due to going to classes at my college during the morning and the evening. Usually with my evening class, I have time afterwards to do some night photography before heading home. I also had a little time yesterday before class to catch a rather interesting lash up on the Denver, CO to Great Falls, MT Manifest at Longs Peak, CO that included: Heritage 1 C44-9W, Warbonnet C44-9W, Swoosh ES44C4, Heritage 1 SD40-2, WAMX ex UP SD40T-2. The Tunnel Motor was to be set out at the Swan Ranch Park at Speer south of Cheyenne, WY. After grabbing some shots of the train, I headed over to school and went through my evening class until 9:30pm. There were no trains but I found a pair of SD40-2s tied down on the house track in Longmont offline. I noticed a thunderstorm to my west so I headed over to the Great Western Sugar Mill and found a string of Grain Cars and an OSS GP7 parked near the mill. Unfortunately I could not get a shot of the power and cars due to piles of dirt and them being parked in a bad spot. However, I was able to pull off shots of the old mill itself. It was getting late and I had to head home for the night.
Thanks for looking! John Crisanti Longmont, CO Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/27/13 09:18 by FrontRangeTrains. Date: 08/27/13 10:39 Re: A Couple from Yesterday Author: bobk Very nice shots!
