A westbound UP Z-Train is on Main 2 about 20 miles east of Cheyenne. Generally speaking, trains follow the "right hand rule" on the Sidney Sub. However, due to maintenance on Main 1, Main 2 is the only main open here at the moment.

UP 4014 makes a reverse move on the west leg of the wye at Speer Jct. The train is leaving Cheyenne without a diesel, which is very cool to see and rather uncommon!

On Main 3, a single ES44AC brings up the rear of a monster westbound train. You can see it wrapping west above and to the right. The train will take Main 3 to Dale Jct, avoiding the steeper grades of Mains 1 and 2 west of Cheyenne.
