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.

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!
