Chase of the Big Boy - Day 2

Hi, We set up for our first shot of the day of 4014 on the approach to an over pass at Creston, WY.

Two eastbound UP freights passed our position while waiting for 4014 (above and two below).


Before 4014 and train passed the Wyoming State Police told everyone to remove their cars from the berm of the road thus effectively forcing us off the bridge approach.

We relocated to Wamsutta, WY where the train made a stop (above and below).


While the train was in Wamsutta we moved further west to Tipton, WY where we shot this eastbound.

Unfortunately, the eastbound did not clear in time for a westbound head on photo of the special.

Our next location was just east of Rock Springs. This eastbound


with a DPU trailing passed

before 4014 and train came west (above and below).


After lunch we photographed a couple of trains at Peru which is the top of the grade west of Green River, WY (above and five below).





Thanks for looking.
