Great westbound location. Big sweeping curve with a nice bluff in the background. If you're really lucky you might even spot a moose there.

Usually this line carries just northbound empty coal trains, but with Distributed Power you can get both ends.

Every town along the line has something and the larger cities have Yards. BeWARE THE RR Cops. Stay off the right o way.

Lots of action and you can view it from overhead. It is located west of the old depot. Parking is free on the north side. tom Reply Edit Valleyline Member sinceJanuary 2001 From: US 71 posts Posted by Valleyline on Thursday, July 8, 2004 7:28 AM Laramie isn't in southwestern WY but it's a good location for train watching with a pedestrian bridge right over the UP yard and main line. Plenty of parking and city conveniences are nearby.
