Nostalgia & History > UP Cheyenne / Hermosa Tunnel 8mm movie from July 1978Date: 02/28/20 10:22 UP Cheyenne / Hermosa Tunnel 8mm movie from July 1978 Author: Englewood My Dad took this 8mm movie in July, 1978.
On the Kodachrome Super 8 Movie Film box he wrote: "Cheyenne Hermosa Tunnel July 78" I had this converted to mpeg for all my friends on trainorders.com. I really appreciate posts with pictures / videos of Chicago scenes so I hope some of you UP fans will like these scenes of the pre-MP Union Pacifc. More where this came from if people find it interesting. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

The first train is an eastbound Hanna coal train which when it arrives in Cheyenne will have two units cut off and then continue on to North Platte and east to the power plant with the remaining two.

Date: 02/29/20 11:03 Re: Hermosa Author: timz The coal train is making maybe 12 mph on the
0.82% climb, so must be a longish train if all four units are alive. Date: 02/29/20 16:44 Re: UP Cheyenne / Hermosa Tunnel 8mm movie from July 1978 Author: mamfahr > Well, for eastbound trains, it is up-grade.
The trains in the video are all working upgrade - the grade crests inside the tunnel. Take care, Mark Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/29/20 16:58 by mamfahr. |
