A look straight on at the nose of UP 1943. The "Air Force Silver" looks mighty fine! It has been suggested that UP get the George Bush 41 unit (UP 4141) out of storage in Little Rock, AR and run the two units together.

When work was last done on the US-87 overpass in Cheyenne, a tightly-weaved (if that's the appropriate term!), 10 foot tall chain link fence was put up on the sides of the overpass, making shooting from the overpass somewhat tricky. In this shot, you can see UP 1943 sitting on main 1 through one of the holes in the fence alongside the Cheyenne Depot.

UP's dispatcher was probably glad when the public viewing of UP 1943 was completed. The unit sat on Main 1, taking up a few miles of track through Cheyenne. This left the dispatcher Mains 2-4 for through trains and crew changes.

A westbound manifest throttles up after receiving a fresh crew in Cheyenne. The next crew will take the train to Green River, WY. Meanwhile, UP 1943 sits on public display on Main 1 at the Cheyenne Depot.

UP 1943 sits on Main 1 at the Cheyenne Depot for public viewing. Cheyenne is a crew change point for UP, and as such there are four main tracks next to the depot. As such, the public was not allowed on the station platform. A westbound manifest just had a crew change and is now pulling westbound on Main 2.
