The diesel locomotive that accompanies #4014. Used as signaling and electronics backup, as well as possibly pulling the whole train (should the steamer have a problem). Image taken from frame of 4K photo series, processed with GIMP.

As we drove our RV across the wide open spaces of Wyoming, we followed the railroad tracks for quite a while. This was taken as we passed by the railroad yards near Guernsey, Wyoming (just off Highway 26). Took this through the windshield of our RV, and it has been processed with GIMP. They are fueling the road engines from tanker trucks. I think that these railroad yards do not have separate fuel tanks (or else don't have enough capacity). There were many other trains being fueled in this yard this way.

Taken behind the train station in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Union Pacific operates near here, and you can watch many, many trains pass by on the other side of the chain link fence. Image processed with GIMP.

The Folkston Funnel is a section of track where many of the east coast US trains pass. There is a visitors center set up, and you can spend quite an interesting day of train watching.
