Dark clouds in the eastern sky make for a nice dramatic evening shot as the sun makes its way into the eastern sky. This manifest, headed for West Colton, CA, just received a fresh crew in Cheyenne and is headed west on Main One.

My first shot of UP 4141, the George HW Bush Presidential Library unit, on the point of a North Platte-bound manifest just west of Cheyenne. It is late in the day as the train passes Borie on a yellow signal on Main One.

In November 2005, UP unveiled a specially-painted SD70ACe. It was painted in a scheme reminiscent of Air Force One. It was so-painted in honor of the George HW Bush Presidential Library, which had a special section on trains (and their history) in America. Nearly three years later, I was finally lucky enough to catch this unit on the point of a manifest approaching Cheyenne on UP's Overland Route. Here, said train is on Main One at Borie, a few miles west of Cheyenne.

Time for a bit of fun as we (being my friend and driver Damian and myself) pace UP 4141 on the point of an eastbound manifest just outside Cheyenne. The unit, painted and numbered for the George HW Bush Presidential Library, looks like it could stand a good bath!

It is late in the day as this West Colton, CA to North Platte, NE manifest slows just west of Cheyenne on Main One. The train will wait for tracks ahead to clear so it can make a crew change before continuing east toward Nebraska. A bit of, ummm, industry is visible in the background from the Dyno Nobel plant!

Some switching action in the yard at Cheyenne can be seen from the Norris Viaduct. This overpass is right at the east end of the yard. SD40-2 #3150 is sandwiched in between two sets of hoppers as its RCL crew works to rearrange the cars.

The last bit of light is quickly fading from the west sky as a westbound grain train meets an eastbound grain train at the east end of Cheyenne Yard. The train approaching the camera is on Main Two and has just received a fresh crew in Cheyenne. The train to the left is crossing from Main Three to Main Four, heading for a crew change itself.
