Good stuff, Doug! That S curve at Waterfall is always a challenge for sun angle.

Number two with 844 coming straight at the viewer is my favorite. Those hills behind it make a great background.

Very nice! I especially like the Soda Springs photo.

Was it cold out there? Trying to figure out so much steam in pics 1-3.

Fantastic photos

Great images Doug! I especially enjoyed the one at Waterfall. Used to pass that spot each day to and from work when I lived in Kemmerer back in the 80's.

Those are beautiful photos of a great locomotive.
The first and second ones are especially nice,
and the second one is stunning! Wow.....

It was very cold with the wind blowing. Much of western Wyo had precip----rain or snow---overnight. Temp probably 35 but with the wind--esp at Green River it was a bundle up morning. My camera batteries failed from the cold on the Green River overpass
As the day developed and we went into lower elevations in Idaho it was a beautiful day!
Makes for great morning steam!

thanks for your comments!

Again,Great shots, thanks for posting. And I noticed that "ugly box" on back of train has been obscured in your shots!..Love the sideways bird caught in #3!..plus there's less postings about this trip than I figured would be, perhaps some are waiting till they finish chasing? However all updates are appreciated!
