UP service to Casper WYi

Does the UP still serve Casper WY and if so how often do they run?

Pulled out in 1997. Even then they were largely using trackage rights on BNSF (CB&Q/BN) as they had already removed a big chunk of their railroad in 1943-1988...

UP discussed here is actually CNW. As late as 1930, CNW was proposing a route from Casper to Steamboat/Craig, CO where the Moffat Road (DNWP/D&SL) ended...both wanted access to SLC and a connection there.

Thanks. I know this was the end to what the CNW called there Cowboy line.  One of my rail atlas's still shows a little yellow West of Casper

Air base spur (now just an industrial lead and mostly gone), local EconDev came up short trying to buy it.
