GREEN RIVER, WYOMING views on Sunday, August 3, 2003.


The pedestrian bridge over the UP yards in Green River, Wyoming was built  in 1938.


View from the bridge in the late afternoon of August 3, 2003, looking east.


Crew ready to board a westbound train at the old Green River depot, taken from the bridge.


View of the bridge and another east view.


Fuel rack. (There is no photo to the right of this one)


Leaving at 702 p.m.


Looking northwest as the train leaves. The town of Green River is in the background.


Shop areas from the bridge.


LEFT-Refrigerator cars on the train seen leaving earlier. RIGHT-A city park overlooks the Green River - the railroad runs on the other side below the mountains. The shops and yard area is to the left 1 or 2 miles.


You can see the distant trains below the mountains. From this distance, they look like z-scale!


You can see a distant train. I am looking west.


Zoomed in on a westbound across the Green River.


A westbound train (left) will soon pass the distant eastbound train (right). It was about 8 p.m. Mountain Time.


A little closer.


An eastbound train heading for the yards at Green River at sunset. This was taken across from the Oak Tree Inn (which is the same chain that is located in Hearne, Texas and also had a diner in front of the hotel. Someone at the hotel said that only 30 percent of that chain is open to the public with the rest railroad  domitories for UP employees. They said they were located at all major hubs.


Night was near. Can you see the headlights of the eastbound train? There was lightning from those clouds as well, but I wasn't lucky enough to catch any with my digital camera.
