TOWER A at Cheyenne (Video Action, Photos,etc)

[RMNRWY]

I thought I would start a post that can be added too whenever a railfan (or me)wants to post a video, picture or story of the action at Tower A on the UP mainline in Cheyenne, Wyo.

Here are a couple of videos taken 5 min apart today. The first one is of the UP Granite Switcher. It does daily runs to the ballast pit west of Cheyenne. It usually consists of a few SD40-2's. Here it has just come from the BNSF yard with BNSF power and a empty ballast train. I love the sound of 4 older EMD's (1 GE) as they crank it up several knotches.

This next video is of a lone SD70M heading west with a loaded 50 car AutoRack. The engineer has gone 'Horn Crazy'.
