    The following morning we wanted to take in a few more sites with the improved weather. Our first stop was to check out an engine that I spotted on the previous day at the North Platte Community College.

    A few other photos awaited us on the other side of the building.

    We decided to stay on I-80 for a bit longer on the way home to see what Cheyenne, WY had to offer. We past a few distant west bound U.P. trains along the way.

    And we finally made it to Cheyenne.

    Remember seeing those places myself not so long ago; sure is fun seeing us both post photos from the same places from different perspectives!

    How about some steam?

    Last Saturday my family and I headed out to Durango to ride the winter train.

    We start off with an early morning look at the yard in Durango.

    Our power is hooked up and ready to pull us along for a ride.
