Speer Jct is effectively a very large wye, with a single track on the southwest and southeast sides of the wye, and two tracks on the north edge. The wye and tracks can leads west toward Laramie, north toward Cheyenne, or south toward Denver. Here, the Big Boy makes a reverse move on the southeast leg of the wye, and will cross over to Main 3 for the ten mile reverse journey to Cheyenne.
