Western Railroad Discussion > The Overland Route - Green RiverDate: 07/28/16 04:48 The Overland Route - Green River Author: FrontRangeTrains This past weekend from July 25th to the 26th, a close friend of mine and myself took a trip out to Southwestern Wyoming along UP's Overland Route to Green River and the surrounding area. It was certainly new territory for us, but it was a blast and we're definitely coming back again for another trip. There were plenty of trains to come by too. Here's what we got in the span of two days:

John Crisanti Longmont, CO Date: 07/28/16 05:00 Re: The Overland Route - Green River Author: ATSF5669 Nice shots John! That's a part of the UP that has long interested me, in part because so few people venture out that far. Looking forward to the next batch!

Ronda Thomas Date: 07/28/16 06:08 Re: The Overland Route - Green River Author: RGDave WOW. Nice work! Love those wide open spaces.
~RGDave Date: 07/28/16 06:42 Re: The Overland Route - Green River Author: F40PHR231 One WOW right after another WOW! Great coverage, and thank you for sharing!
Date: 07/28/16 06:42 Re: The Overland Route - Green River Author: Bob3985 John, you are one of the best photographers I have ever seen. I would love to meet you sometime for sure.
We will be having our UPHS conventipn in Denver next July and I would love to have you do a program for us. Keep up the good work. I need a new camera. By the way a good friend of mine in Omaha told me that coal and auto loadings have increased to be prepared. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/28/16 06:46 by Bob3985.

I did a lot of surveying for bridge renewals in some pretty remote places east of Green River. Always scary when you get back out to I80 and the low fuel light comes on. Nice shots by the way.
Zach Green Parker, Co Posted from Android Date: 07/28/16 06:58 Re: The Overland Route - Green River Author: bjackson30303 Sharptest, most dramatic set of pics in a while. Great job incorporating dramatic landscapes to really illustrate the scope of western railroading. Photo 6 I believe: Symbol MNPWWC - what is MNP to be sure and which train is it, the container train or the manifest? I am not an insider on this kind of thing but work for a global freight forwarder. We don't work with the RR's, just the major shipping companies. Want to share that photo internally with our non-US offices to show what a real train looks like, if that is ok?

Thanks so much for sharing these, and all of your other fine photos! Best wishes, ShastaDaylight |
