Union Pacific Terminal, Cheyenne Wyoming





Central Avenue, or what  becomes the South Greeley Highway, has an overpass over the substantial Union Pacific yard in Cheyenne.  This modern railroad terminal features a tower, much like an airport tower, which is bisected by Central Avenue, making the UP tower an island in the automobile traffic.

Union Pacific Rail Yard and Depot, Cheyenne Wyoming


This is the Union Pacific Depot in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  Built in 1887, and renovated and added on to in 1922 and 1929, today it houses a railroad museum and a restaurant.  It remains a major Cheyenne landmark.  These photographs were rather obviously taken fairly early on a March morning.

And this is the Union Pacific roundhouse in the rail yard. The railyard itself is a major Union Pacific rail yard.  The roundhouse is the home to Union Pacific 844, 838, 5511 and UP Challenger 3985, all steam locomotives.
