Railfanning Wyoming and Montana - 4B, Guernsey Area

Hi, In this, the final post on my trip to photograph UP 4014, as well as regular service in Wyoming and Montana, two additional photo locations in the Guernsey, WY area will be covered.

Just west of the Guernsey yard BNSF crosses the North Platte river (above and six below). In this photo a manifest train is westbound across the bridge.

The approaches to the bridge are on fills. Here an eastbound loaded coal train is about to cross the river.

On cloudy days it is possible to shoot from the north side of the bridge.

An empty coal train headed west (above and below)


with a single DPU. Our rented Tahoe is in the foreground of the final photo at this location (above and below).


The second location is further into Guernsey State Park where the road crosses a daylighted tunnel; now a deep cut (above and five below). First up was a westbound grain train (above and two below).




Shortly after the grain train disappeared coal loads came east (above and two below).


This was a great trip, both the company (Jim and Jay Kleeman, and Bill Kalkman) and the railfanning. Thanks for looking.
