Anybody that has ever chased a UP steam train before knows that it can be very difficult to get ahead of the train due to the number of people interested in pacing the train on the highway rather than get ahead of it. After shooting the train at Hermosa, I could not get ahead of it again until Laramie. Here, the train has crossed over from Main 3 to Main 1 and is approaching it's first stop so it can get greased up. The flags look very classy, as does the new eagle the steam crew added to the nose for the 250th birthday of the United States.
