No stops in La Salle on this Sunday for UP's Green River, WY to North Yard manifest. La Salle has a yard, and is the base of operations for several locals that serve customers along the Greeley Sub. Some manifests will stop here to pick up or drop off cars, but such is not the case for UP 9795 today.

As UP 9795 heads south out of La Salle, take note of the siding as it bows out and away from the mainline before converging with the main at the switch. This is very common with many sidings and is done to provide a better angle for the siding as it joins the main at the switch. This can allow trains to proceed through the switch at a slightly higher speed than they would otherwise be allowed.

UP 8205 and train have a clear (green) signal on the main at the south switch of La Salle. You may note that there is a derail set on the siding here. That is due to a local that is currently in the siding and switching out cars at the yard in La Salle.

I don't always make it out to shoot the Cheyenne Frontier Days train. Ever wondered why? This shot might help to answer that question somewhat! As you can see, traffic builds up on US-85, parallel to the tracks. Some people enjoy pacing the steam engine (in both lanes), making it virtually impossible for those in back to get ahead to the next shot. Due to this frustration, I will either sit the day out, or plan out one or two spots I know I'll be able to get to!
