Wow. Did you follow this train all day?

250 miles away... that would put this shot in the Rock Springs / Green River area and right in your backyard, wouldn't it?
:iconminiwyo:
I did follow it a good part of the morning. When she was headed west. I was there when she steamed into town, and then the next morning, I chased her to Green River, and then about 10 mile past GR. And then about a month later, when she was headed back east, I didn't get to see her steam in as it was my girlfriends birthday, but I did get there about sunrise and ended up chasing her about 10 miles to the east.
:iconmckhaos:
That must have been a total experience (sight , sound and smell) . You're a lucky man .

hmm...

Oh man, it is always the most amazing experience when she steams through here. this is the first time in a good 5 or 6 years so, she really was a sight for sore eyes. If you ever manage to be in this area, I would suggest stopping in Cheyenne and seeing them and the shop where they keep them.

nice shot. I've never seen it pull passenger cars before.
:iconminiwyo:
Thanks! But That is all she has pulled since she was restored to running condition in 1982.
:iconookami-oni:
I did not know that. When she was here in Omaha she was only pulling a couple of cars.
:iconfactorone33:
Classic shot! And that's quite the load she's pulling there.

I take it this is No 3985?
Challengers are amazing beasts, secondly only to big boys!
Great shot!
