Railfanning 9/24/13

Today were we able to go do some railfanning. The sun was just right and it was perfect. We caught a West UP Manifest. And a long coal train on its way down Sherman.

Railfanning September 14 2013

Today was a great day for Railfanning it may have been wet but it was worth it. We were able to see  UP 7400 the pink ribbon heritage unit. We also caught a UP Z train and followed it out of Cheyenne. Enjoy the pictures and Videos.

Train Chasing

One of my favorite things to do for free time is to go train chasing. There's a little road following the train up the Union Pacific Cheyenne-Laramie subdivision. Its always a fun thing to do. Here are some pictures.

This train is the fastest train running on the Union Pacific it goes from Chicago to California in 72 hours. Taken from a bridge close to the Borie cut off out side of Cheyenne.
