UP 4014 and train are currently running on the Borie Cutoff, rather than on Mains 1 or 2, which you can see in the distance. This stretch of track is roughly five miles long, and connects Speer Jct (southwest of Cheyenne) with the Overland Route. Trains coming up the Greeley Sub from Denver that are headed west, and have no stop in Cheyenne, will take this track. Same with their eastbound counterparts. Here, the Big Boy will run to Speer Jct and make a reverse move from Speer to the yard at Cheyenne.

After running on Main 1 between Dale Jct and Borie, UP 4014 and train have crossed over to Main 2, and then over to the Borie Cutoff. This move surprised several railfans, who were expecting the Big Boy to run on Main 1 all the way to Cheyenne, rather than take the cutoff up to Speer Jct.
