Speer Jct is effectively a very large wye, with a single track on the southwest and southeast sides of the wye, and two tracks on the north edge. The wye and tracks can leads west toward Laramie, north toward Cheyenne, or south toward Denver. Here, the Big Boy makes a reverse move on the southeast leg of the wye, and will cross over to Main 3 for the ten mile reverse journey to Cheyenne.

A bit of a photo line formed here at Speer, getting shots of UP 4014 and train as they make a reverse move back along the southeast leg of the wye at Speer Jct. The train will cross over to Main 3, and continue a reverse move all the way to the yard at Cheyenne.

UP 4014 and train have started a reverse move from the Greeley Sub main, back toward Main 3 north of Speer Jct. The train will continue a reverse move roughly 10 miles back to the yard at Cheyenne. UP police were present at Speer Jct, making sure to keep railfans back from the mainline.

The Big Boy is leaving the wye at Speer Jct behind, pulling onto the single track main of the Greeley Sub. Right here, the tracks cross over BNSF's Front Range Subdivision. A northbound BNSF manifest was actually not too far off, but the timing was not quite right for an "over/under" shot.

At Speer Jct, UP 4014 wraps around the southwest leg of the wye, moving toward the Greeley Subdivision. Once the entire train in on the Greeley Sub, it will make a reverse move toward Main 3, making a reverse move all the way to Cheyenne. A distance of roughly 10 miles.
