Photo ID: 106129 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Cheyenne Depot Cheyenne, WY 1276 (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.

The train will wait here until it is time to depart at 5pm. Freight traffic still has to move, however, and a manifest rolls by on Main P2. Two of the steam crew members walk toward a semi tanker filled with oil for UP 844. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The American flag and the Colorado flag definitely add some additional class! I particularly like the "844" plaque located directly beneath the headlight in the UP shield.

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.

Photo ID: 106124 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Cheyenne Depot Cheyenne, WY 1334 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific Steam engines, obviously, require water in order to run. And a LOT of water. Thousands of gallons of water is required to boil and turn to steam. Here, in Cheyenne, the fire department is helping out by connecting their hoses to a fire hydrant on one end, and the "water bottle" on the other end.

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.

After not having been under its own steam in three years, it sure looked good rolling in to Cheyenne on a beautiful Saturday morning.
