Union Pacific Depot, Rock Springs, Wyoming

Classic, retired, Union Pacific Depot in Rock Springs, Wyoming.

Same depot, photographed on a snowier day, from the other side of the tracks.

Union Pacific freight station, Rock Springs.

For some reason, when I took the photographs above on August 6, 2015, I failed to take photos of the other railroad displays at the park where the depot is located.

I did that recently, although the weather was obviously not nearly as nice.

A Monument To The Union Pacific No. 1 Mine.

A monument, in Rock Springs, Wyoming, to the first mine in that district.

The mine was, not too surprisingly, a Union Pacific mine. Started in 1868, the coal fueled the transcontinental railroad.
