Western Railroad Discussion > UP 844 & CFD To Cheyenne This MorningDate: 07/21/18 20:07 UP 844 & CFD To Cheyenne This Morning Author: mojaveflyer This morning I decided to blow off my chres and head over to the UP's Greeley Sub to photograph the 844 and the Cheyenne Frontier Days train departing Denver for a visit to Cheyenne for the opening of Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo. I first caught the train when it backed from North Yard to the Greeley Sub using the old Rock Island mainline, now known as the Belt Line.
Photo #1- The special has backed on to the Greeley Sub mainline and departs for Cheyenne. That's the Denver skyline in the background. Photo #2- A pose by the 844... Photo #3- The special has reached Speer where it drops down to Cheyenne. The train is stretched around on the Greeley Sub main as the train enters Main 4. More photos in Part II.

Photo #5- The train heads down Main 3 towards Cheyenne. Thanks for looking! James Nelson Thornton, CO www.flickr.com/mojaveflyer   Date: 07/21/18 20:24 Re: UP 844 & CFD To Cheyenne This Morning - Part II Author: UP951West Quality images . Thanks for sharing your work.
Date: 07/21/18 20:57 Re: UP 844 & CFD To Cheyenne This Morning - Part II Author: train671 UP certainly spent a ton to create this opportunity and PR Bonanza. Just wish I lived closer to ride or
at least get to one of the locations. Given all the negative news just a few months back with some folks complaining to high heaven that nothing good would ever come forth from Cheyenne, it sure is great to see so much good news and great views "thunder on down the tracks." Thanks for taking the time to post your excellent images for us all to enjoy. Date: 07/22/18 01:08 Re: UP 844 & CFD To Cheyenne This Morning - Part II Author: bmarti7 Congrats James. Well deserved and excellent coverage!

It's great to see the 844, the Cheyenne Frontier Days, and the Denver Post still in business and doing what they've always done so well. Date: 07/22/18 19:32 Re: UP 844 & CFD To Cheyenne This Morning - Part II Author: SouthWestRailCams Well deserved IOTD! Great Coverage!
