UP 4477 at Cheyenne Wells CO on August 2, 2008.

Union Pacific SD70M 4477 along with C40-8 9201 head west through Cheyenne Wells, CO with a manifest early on August 2, 2008. This line, the former Kansas and Pacific, was rehabilitated in the 1990's to handle coal traffic out of Colorado and handles very little other traffic. The 9201 is shown in an earlier image on this site which was taken almost twenty years earlier in November 1988 in Milford, Nevada.
