The train is waiting for the Cheyenne Frontier Days steam train, which will cross over from Main 1 to Main 3 CP W511. To expedite things, UP sent a fresh crew out to this train so, once clear, the train could continue east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 107645 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 21, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Cheyenne Depot Cheyenne, WY 1172 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific For awhile, it looked as though the Cheyenne Frontier Days steam train would be delayed departing Cheyenne. This was due to the buckets of rain that were coming down. UP did not want somebody to slip and get injured on the platform, so passengers would not be loaded until the rain let up. Fortunately, while it had not fully stopped, it had let up enough to allow passengers to board. UP 844 is steaming up and getting ready to depart in about 15 minutes.

Photo ID: 107642 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 21, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Cheyenne Depot Cheyenne, WY 1114 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific I do not claim to understand the details of how steam engines work. My elementary understanding stops at "fire is created to boil water to create steam to drive pistons". Periodically, a certain amount of water must be dumped via a valve underneath the cab.

No issue was found...or at least no major issue...as they were only there checking things out for a few minutes. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 107634 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 21, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed East of Borie Jct Laramie County, WY 1126 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific An eastbound intermodal train, the third in the past half hour, charges west through Borie Jct (out of frame to the left) on Main 2. The train will stop in Cheyenne in order to get a crew change. The lead unit is an ES44AH, although UP designates it as a ET44AH-T4C. Basically, it is an ES44AH that was received as a Tier-4 "credit unit" after the Tier 4 deadline started. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
