Bird on a wire? The birds are all lined up to watch the rail action as a remote control UP yard job is switching cars out the south end of the yard, underneath the 48th Avenue overpass. The units are being controlled by a UP employee that is also throwing switches back in the yard. This remote control zone is called "Zone 1" here at North Yard.

It has been said that the only thing that is consistent is change. Forty years ago, this shot of the engine tracks at North Yard would have been filled with black and gold Rio Grande power. Thirty years ago, it would have been largely filled with scarlet and gray Espee power. Now, as it has been for the last few decades, it is a sea of UP yellow. At some point in the future, it will no doubt change again. But to what?

A GP38-2 sits near the engine shop, which now has very limited abilities to do work on engines. The vast majority of maintenance requires engines be sent to the shops in North Platte, NE. Later in the day, this geep had been moved, so I am not sure if whatever issue(s) it may have had were resolved, or if it would be headed to Nebraska.

UP 4014, a 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" steam locomotive, was built by ALCO (American Locomotive Company) in 1941. After spending 20 years in service, it was retired in December 1961 and wound up at a museum in Southern California. UP reacquired 4014 from the museum in 2013 and moved it to Cheyenne in 2014. It was then rebuilt and once again runs under its own (steam) power. Here, on the final day of a two month tour that covered ten states (Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming).
