Railroad photograph

One of my favorite shots of the day was along the banks for the North Platte River on the west edge of Guernsey, WY. You could not ask for a better October morning as a single ES44AC (in Heritage 2 paint) brings up the rear of a westbound coal empty. The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy reached Guernsey, WY in 1900. 14 years later, the CB&Q built the nine-mile extension from Guernsey to Wendover, meeting with the Colorado and Southern mainline. By this point, the C&S was under the control of the CB&Q.
