When not in use, they are typically kept and maintained in Cheyenne at the roundhouse. You may have noticed that there is no nose door on UP 951. UP welded it shut and painted over the seams a few years ago. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Literally 10 minutes prior to the sun setting, this manifest passed by heading east. An hour earlier, Cheyenne was pummeled by a torrential downpour that included nickel-to-quarter sized hail. That, however, result in the formation of this fantastic pond, allowing for a nice capture of an SD70ACe and an SD70M, both sporting the American flag.
