Photo ID: 113788 Date Shot Photo By Friday, April 24, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP W511 Albany County, WY 5 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific Here at CP W511, the Laramie Sub (Overland Route) passes underneath BNSF's Front Range Sub. There was a northbound BNSF manifest in the area, for a chance for a "over/under" shot was in the cards. Alas, the northbound stopped to walk the train after it sparked a few fires along the right-of-way south of Cheyenne. UP 4014 backs away from the camera, headed for home at the end of this western tour. In one month and one day, the Big Boy will be departed Cheyenne east for a massive journey that includes a trip on Norfolk Southern to Philadelphia.
