It is a perfect morning for the annual running of the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special. We are just north of Platteville here as the train glides by. With no operable steam this year, UP used the E-units and the DD40AX for power.

A southbound manifest from Green River, WY holds the main at Platteville. It is waiting for the arrival of a northbound (that will run through the siding) before continuing south to Denver.

Just north of the north switch of Platteville, this rerouted double stack train is holding at a double red. The dispatcher isn't quite sure where the he is going to make a meet, so the train must wait!

The steam train always attracts quite a croud on the ground. Here at Platteville, the steam train held the main for a southbound UP manifest. After getting a clear signal, the train "smokes" up and prepares to depart northbound.
