I visited Cheyenne just recently and back in 1989. The UP parallels US 30 east of Cheyenne and at some points US 30 and I -80 are the same road. I saw between 8 and 12 trains on the UP waiting to get into Cheyenne Yard while traveling on I-80. If you have a chance go to the town of Egbert, WY. It is where the Yoder Sub joins the Cheyenne Mainline and the Yoder Sub is used by empty coal trains returning to the Powder River Basin. West of Cheyenne US 30 parallels the UP Main but most of the action will be Eastbounds as West bounds use the new line over Sherman Hill. If you can get to Highway 287 which goes into Laramie from Colorado get on it. A Few miles out of Laramie on 287 heading toward the Colorado Border is Tie Siding. It is on a gravel rode about a mile off of 287. Just look for a set of crossing gates on this gravel road. This is where the line over Sherman Hill Splits.
