Nice little video! I love the early morning shots - that is the best time to see her. (Especially if you're running on about 6 hours of sleep!)

Good Stuff & Thanks for posting this, I got the Cheyenne to Rock Springs 1st day run, But then my gas money ran out ! Also Do you know if UP6936 centennial is going to be in the museum out there as it is no longer listed in the heritage fleet web page here in Cheyenne?

Rumor has it they will still do the 2011 Railfair for the 30th anniversary of the museum

It's 3985, 844, and 4449 coming only IFF (if and only if) the Technology Meuseum opens.
