Coming off of Main 3 at Dale Jct, UP 4014 (the Big Boy), UP 1616 (Abraham Lincoln Unit), and UP 1776 (US 250th) head west on Main 2. I really liked the rocky features of the Wyoming landscape here, along with the snow fences along the tracks.

The train that we've been waiting for! UP 4014 (the Big Boy) leads a passenger special running west on the Overland. The train is headed to California. It will then return east to Cheyenne before departing east on Memorial Day for Washington DC to celebrate the United States Semiquincentennial (250th birthday).

A very long manifest rolls west off of Main 3 at Dale Jct with three units on the head end. You can see a pair of mid-train DPUs in the distance on the S-Curve on Main 3. For those unfamiliar, Union Pacific has two different grades between Cheyenne and Dale Jct (near Hermosa Tunnel). Mains 1 and 2 (more or less) follow I-80, while Main 3 runs much further south.

Leaving the last cut before Dale Junction behind, this westbound train is slowing on an "Advanced Approach" (flashing yellow) signal as it approaches the Junction.

At Dale Junction, UP's third main track (which lies on a separate grade from the first two main tracks west of Cheyenne) converges with the first two main's when heading west. Not far east of Dale is a massive cut towering at least 150 feet over the railroad. Here, a westbound unit grain train is about to pass through the cut.
