Nostalgia & History > Schedule Board - LaramieDate: 11/04/25 06:39 Schedule Board - Laramie Author: gcm Nov 1976
The station was still open for passengers and the San Francisco Zephyr. The old UP train bulletin board was used. Looking closer "ghost trains" from the UP passenger days could be seen. City of Portland, Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Francisco etc. Gary Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/04/25 06:40 by gcm.

I have memories of seeing 26 car City of Everywhere trains there in the last years of Union Pacific train service. The pedestrian bridge was a great place to see and photograph trains.

The letters were gone, but you could still read all the trains - Super Chief, Chief, Grand Canyon, Fast Mail....
