Cheyenne WY home of the UP Steam Locomotive 3985
Yahoo Message Number: 48064
Our Sunday newspaper had a travel article about this big steam locomotive based in Cheyenne WY.

It is still operated occassionally for tourist/nostalic purposes.
Article did not say anything about rides, so I guess just a possible chance to see it operating.  The operating schedule for 2005 will be posted on the website in March.  So maybe in March 2006 we will learn if there is a chance to see it around the time of the golden caravan.

There are a number of tourist railroads in neighboring Colorado.

Remebering the days of passenger rail travel is fun.  However, I think that the comfort and versatility of RV travel is better than even private rail car travel would be.
