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.

The Rio Grande heritage unit has done a great job of avoiding Denver for the past few years. This is the first time I've seen it since July 2011. Hard to believe that it just celebrated its 10th birthday in June. Today, it got the honor of assisting on the Cheyenne Frontier Days train.

Photo ID: 105368 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 18, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP W511 Cheyenne, WY 1928 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific A westbound ballast train pulls out of the Cheyenne Yard, ready to head west on the Laramie Sub. The train is on Main 4, crossing underneath the BNSF Front Range Sub. The train is on Main 4 because it will actually swing south and go through Speer Junction before heading west on Main 3 to Dale Jct. Main 3 is on a totally separate grade from Mains 1 and 2 between Cheyenne and Dale Jct (near Hermosa Tunnel). Main 3 is longer, but the grade is much lower, so heavy westbounds, such as this ballast train, frequently take Main 3. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
