Again today, Cheyenne-to-Denver on a 2 day schedule. At Union Station now... I managed to score a caboose ride from Cheyenne to Lasalle, CO! I have several bay window shots, many look alike, but hey, who's counting! It was hard to keep up with them, they blasted thru the wasteland north of Nunn, and made good time elsewhere. Only 2 meets, and 2 slow orders. The steam crew tied down the 844 and her train at DUS at 1530. Teaser!! Speer, WY: Dawn's early light at the Cheyenne shops:
It helped that there wasn't a gaggle of UP officials there waiting to ride... Not only a caboose ride, but when we stopped in Lasalle, we saw a D&RGW unpatched GP40-2!!!
Rippin' thru Platteville, CO: The old and new in passenger power, at Denver Union Station: (the Amtrak unit is dead) This one didn't turn out the way I wanted, but oh well. Hazeltine, CO:
