Photo ID: 106146 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP W045 (South La Salle) La Salle, CO 1626 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific I don't always make it out to shoot the Cheyenne Frontier Days train. Ever wondered why? This shot might help to answer that question somewhat! As you can see, traffic builds up on US-85, parallel to the tracks. Some people enjoy pacing the steam engine (in both lanes), making it virtually impossible for those in back to get ahead to the next shot. Due to this frustration, I will either sit the day out, or plan out one or two spots I know I'll be able to get to! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
