Photo ID: 110624 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 30, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Hermosa Tunnel Albany County, WY 54 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific This shot almost looks like it could've shot 70 years ago, when Big Boys were found in regular service on the Overland. UP is running this special run of UP 4014 without a diesel helper. Just the Big Boy, a couple of passenger cars, and some pristine UP freight equipment.

Photo ID: 110621 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 30, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Hermosa to Tie Siding Albany County, WY 49 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific One company that UP ships a lot of container traffic for is Ocean Network Express, or ONE. Their pink containers certainly stand out, and it is interesting just seeing the color pink on a train! Such is the case with this westbound two mile long double stack train between Hermosa Tunnel and Tie Siding. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 108451 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, August 15, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Laramie Albany County, WY 797 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Amtrak The eastbound California Zephyr crosses over Laramie River on Main 2 just west (geographically north) of Laramie, WY. The Grizzly Creek wildfire in Glenwood Canyon has closed UP's Glenwood Springs Sub and, as a result, the Zephyr is being detoured through Wyoming between Salt Lake City and Denver. Interestingly, this is the same train set that I rode in just six days early on a return trip from Glenwood Springs to Denver.

The clouds are actually quite helpful, as this shot is taken from the north side of the rails. On a sunny day, this side of the train would be cast is shadows. The temperature is a fairly mild 50­°F.
