Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Cody, WY local Cody to Frannie

6/26/2020 with some photos from another day to fill in
As I probably mentioned in another thread my wife is working the summer at the East entrance to Yellowstone Park.  This was a work day so I was off to catch the local at Cody.
Cody is a little over an hour and I ended up talking to another employee at the park so I was a little late as the local had just left the yard.  I heard them talking to so able to catch

Two  basic photos at Cody from another day.

1) tied up at Cody, yard office almost cut off at right
2) Wye
3) Just east of Cody, highway follows line most of the way

10) Theyget to the mainline east of Frannie and need to shove back to the yard through town.
Looking back I don't know why I didn't stick around at Frannie but did catch them working a little in town on another day which I will follow up on.

Glad you are getting to enjoy your trip up north.
I have been up that way a few times but didn't have tome to hang out and chase.
One of these days I will have to get up there for a while.
Meanwhile the UP is keeping my picture window occupied from time to time.
Have a great and safe trip.

What a great group of photos. If I was forced to pick a favorite it would be #9, but i really like them all.
thank you. 

Great series!

Nice series of photos. Chasing the local worked out well, YNP one day, BNSF next day, what's not to like about that?
t4p.

All new territory for me, thanks for sharing.

Really NICE and interesting series!

Fine series. The land that BNSF forgot! Even the caboose seems so archaic. So far removed from transcontinental container trains. Glad you spent the time to capture it.

Was new to me also.  I knew about Wind River.  Sue was driving to Cody and saw the train on the way.  Then I found the train runs out of Cody with a regular M-F run, Very convenient.

Nice set of photos and info.  Train really looks nice with those units and a caboose

Thanks for posting the photos. I was in Cody just last week. Had never been there, but didn't get much railfan time. Maybe next time.

Very very nice.  Great to see a local working, and in beautiful locations. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful! Interesting seeing those MACs out there on that mostly 90# jointed rail. Hope there is enough horsepower on those lumber loads!
