Western Railroad Discussion > A Couple More From Cheyenne Last Week End

While waiting for the Granite Local crew to pull the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special out of the depot in Cheyenne to wye it, this grain came west after a crew change and crossed over from Main 2 to Main 3 as it departed town. Photo #1 shows the train crossing over, looking east towards the UP yard and steam shops. Photo #2 shows the DPU of the grain train on the left as an empty auto train led by UP 8330 is ready to depart after a crew change west of the depot...

With all of the changes, Cheyenne is still a fun place to watch trains! Thanks for looking.
