A 500mm shot of the Southern Heritage Unit (NS 8099). It is sitting in the yard at Cheyenne, awaiting its next assignment. At least it wasn't entirely obstructed! I'll take a long, slightly awkward angle over no shot at all.

One of Norfolk Southern's 20 heritage units (NS 8099, the Southern Heritage Unit) has been spending some time on the left side of the country! It came to Cheyenne on the HLAUDEN (Laurel, MT to Denver, CO) manifest and was pulled off in the yard at Cheyenne. It was not in a particularly accessible location, so this was about the best shot I could get.

This was the right way to wrap up a fantastic weekend trip with my dad! Literally 10 minutes prior to the sun setting, this manifest passed by heading east. An hour earlier, Cheyenne was pummeled by a torrential downpour that included nickel-to-quarter sized hail. That, however, result in the formation of this fantastic pond, allowing for a nice capture of an SD70ACe and an SD70M, both sporting the American flag.

An eastbound UP manifest with a fresh crew is approaching the Cheyenne Depot on "P2" (Main 2). Crews getting ready to move UP 844, which arrived a few hours earlier on the Cheyenne Frontier Days train, from "P1" back to the roundhouse.

After receiving a fresh crew at Speer, WY, the ZLADV (high priority intermodal from Los Angeles to Denver) is heading south, pulling out of Speer. The auto racks on the point are actually crossing over BNSF's Front Range Sub just around the corner of the hill.

After a long pull north from Denver, this coal train (that originated at the Energy mine on the Craig Branch) is nearing its next crew change point at Cheyenne. This shot is looking east at Terry Ranch Road just south of Cheyenne.

An eastbound manifest headed for North Platte, NE leaves Cheyenne behind as it hits the double track main of the Sidney Sub. The SD9043MAC is the sole DPU on this eastbound.

Each Winter, UP stores is passenger cars in Oakland, CA. Each Spring, the cars are moved to their summer base in Council Bluffs, IA. This year, the 20 car train had the CNW Heritage Unit (UP 1995) on the point as it made its journey. Here, the train is just outside Cheyenne where it will receive a crew change.

The last bit of light is quickly fading from the west sky as a westbound grain train meets an eastbound grain train at the east end of Cheyenne Yard. The train approaching the camera is on Main Two and has just received a fresh crew in Cheyenne. The train to the left is crossing from Main Three to Main Four, heading for a crew change itself.

Some switching action in the yard at Cheyenne can be seen from the Norris Viaduct. This overpass is right at the east end of the yard. SD40-2 #3150 is sandwiched in between two sets of hoppers as its RCL crew works to rearrange the cars.

It is late in the day as this West Colton, CA to North Platte, NE manifest slows just west of Cheyenne on Main One. The train will wait for tracks ahead to clear so it can make a crew change before continuing east toward Nebraska. A bit of, ummm, industry is visible in the background from the Dyno Nobel plant!

Time for a bit of fun as we (being my friend and driver Damian and myself) pace UP 4141 on the point of an eastbound manifest just outside Cheyenne. The unit, painted and numbered for the George HW Bush Presidential Library, looks like it could stand a good bath!

In November 2005, UP unveiled a specially-painted SD70ACe. It was painted in a scheme reminiscent of Air Force One. It was so-painted in honor of the George HW Bush Presidential Library, which had a special section on trains (and their history) in America. Nearly three years later, I was finally lucky enough to catch this unit on the point of a manifest approaching Cheyenne on UP's Overland Route. Here, said train is on Main One at Borie, a few miles west of Cheyenne.

Dark clouds in the eastern sky make for a nice dramatic evening shot as the sun makes its way into the eastern sky. This manifest, headed for West Colton, CA, just received a fresh crew in Cheyenne and is headed west on Main One.

A roster shot of UP 2001 on the point of the IOADVX-04. I think that this was a very inspired paint scheme. I love the snow flakes all over the unit!
