The Wyoming FP7s pulling freight in fitting weather. While excursions stopped in the fall, the once a week freight work never stopped. Here the F Units are on the return trip to Laramie at the second Albany crossing in December 1989. Unfortunately these streamlined powered freight runs were short lived, and the heavy loads put too much strain on them. WYCO would begin leasing UP power whenever necessary. Jim Pallow was one of few to capture exciting scenes like this.

If you thought the snowstorms yesterday were rough, imagine the rough climate engineers used to face on Wyoming’s regional Branch lines. Here Jim Pallow photographs GP9 1365 at Saratoga before departing for Walcott. That stretch often had drifts a quarter the height of the locomotives.

A surprise visit tonight at 6:50; the irregular passenger train through Wyoming, Union Pacific’s OCS. If you squint enough you can see some paintings towards the end of the train!

In early 1995, Jim Pallow was tasked with the movement of benches with an 89’ flat car on the Wyoming Colorado Railroad. While cabooses weren’t required, he grabbed the Rock Island caboose for the tail. Since his paint job on the F Units had been inspired by the Rock Island Scheme, this made for quite the photo line up! These photos were taken by him after he parked at the top of Miller Hill.

Here we see some scenes in Laramie from November 1964 shot by Ken Moore. The lack of housing back then really made Sheep Mountain stick out. As for the icy trees and buried cars, some things in Laramie never change.

When the Union Pacific 844 stretched her legs on Friday, Jim Pallow and Benjamin Moore were perhaps the only one's to use 135 mm film. Here are Ben's best shots:

Union Pacific 844 reportedly sounded "magical" when departing the Cheyenne yards down Lincoln Highway. In a sense, this means her chuffing as she steamed by was quite pleasant to listen to. Here are some more of our best photos from her outing last Friday.

844 is back and just as iconic as ever! Here is Benjamin’s video log of her test run from yesterday!
