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!

Photo ID: 102225 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, August 10, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Borie Cheyenne, WY 3279 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific 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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
