Nostalgia & History > Encore 36: UP museum? Nope, just the Cheyenne yard in '69Date: 09/10/20 14:53 Encore 36: UP museum? Nope, just the Cheyenne yard in '69 Author: valmont Wandering around near the UP engine house in Cheyenne I came across the odd mix of UP 'stuff'. The date was July 5, 1969.

At the time, they almost became candidates for the dumpster because there was "no clear engine reference". But in looking back, now I realize how historically important scene shots like these are. And yes... I "sure wish I had taken more just like them"... (sighhh........ ;^)

The steam crane framed by turbines and E units along wit a retired steam locomotive which might have been 3985. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 09/11/20 23:32 Re: Encore 36: UP museum? Nope, just the Cheyenne yard in '69 Author: davew833 Bet it's #3985. The pilot looks too short to be a Big Boy (which would have been #4023).
