This UP 4-8-4 "Northern" class steam engine is almost 72 years old! Of those 72 years, the engine spent roughly 15 years in actual active service. It has spent the next 57 years in the excursion business. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 106129 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Cheyenne Depot Cheyenne, WY 1390 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific An eastbound double stack rolls in to Cheyenne on Main P2. Cheyenne has four main tracks (P1 - P4) located outside the depot. Cheyenne is a crew change point and these four tracks are used for crew changes on all trains coming through. Most trains only stop for 10-15 minutes for the crew change, and then continue on their journey. The dispatcher had to work with only three tracks this Saturday, with Cheyenne Frontier Days sitting on P1. An eastbound double stack coming in to town on P2. Another double stack is visible to the left on P4. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

But I definitely think steam engines are amazing pieces of machinery. Love all the components visible from the outside, as well as all the steam and water to be found dripping and spraying on the outside.
