Cheyenne WY home of the UP Steam Locomotive 3985 December 19, 2004, 07:46:38 pm Yahoo Message Number: 48064Our Sunday newspaper had a travel article about this big steam locomotive based in Cheyenne WY. http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/excurs/up3985.shtmlIt 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.Kne of Ken, Patty and daughter Stephanie in San Diego
