The tracks of the Overland Route skirt the rocks of Lower Pine Ridge, providing a great backdrop for UP 4014 and train. Afternoon clouds are starting to move in, nice as "fluffy" now, but thunderstorms will roll through later in the day.

There's a lot of straight stretches of track on UP's Overland in Wyoming, but there are also several areas that are quite scenic. One such spot is Rock River. UP 4014 is coming around the curve in front of the rocky ridge on Main 1.

There is a nice cut located above the highway (US-287) a few miles east of Rock River, WY. Here, an empty grain train approaches the cut on Main 2 heading east.

A few miles west of Rock River, WY, this westbound intermodal train is making good time on its journey toward Seattle, WA (coming from Chicago, IL). This was the last bit of direct sunlight that we saw for the remainder of the day.

Roughly 45 minutes after departing Laramie, the train is now roughly 40 miles west of Laramie, approaching the town of Rock River. There were a fair number of railfans chasing the train on this day...and not all of them used the best judgment! One such railfan stood in the middle of Main 2 a few dozen yards off to the left of this shot.
