| Title: |
Christmas Day 1979 |
| Description: |
UP 6925 has a westbound hotshot rolling through Borie, WY where the grade over Sherman Hill stiffens appreciably. I decided not to crop out my 1978 Pontiac Grand-Am parked nearby. Christmas notwithstanding, the railroad is running trains and I would likely be going to work later that night. |

| Title: |
UP 6926 leaving Cheyenne |
| Description: |
The westbound van fleet hit Cheyenne in mid-afternoon and here DD-40AX 6926 is in charge of what is likely the OMN (Overland Mail Northwest) as it heads into the grade across Sherman Hill. |

| Title: |
The California Livestock |
| Description: |
Hot on the heels of the westbound van trains came the CLS with its head end block of hogs - business which lasted until the mid-nineties. The train would be stopping out west of Rawlins to pick up additional hog traffic that came up off the Greeley Sub and was set-out online for the CLS later in the evening. There are a couple fast forties augmenting the imposing DD-40AX and the train will really roll across the high plains. |
