Giants at Rest

Cheyenne, Wyoming

Union Pacific 8444 and a pair of steam powered rotary plows wait for the call.

Driver Union Pacific 8444 - Cheyenne, Wyoming - Summer 1973. Besides the light shimmering off the driver, I noticed the whole thing was slathered with a fine grease to prevent corrosion. What remains of the roundhouse at Cheyenne houses the 844 and a Challenger 3985. Both are honest to God Titans of the rails. Zeiss Super Ikonta B w/Ektachrome.
