These were all taken Monday, August 4, 2004 at an abandoned rest stop
off Interstate 80, right before you cross the Wyoming-Utah state line. I
had almost given up waitng for a train, but then I spotted an eastbound UP
coal train on the upper, high line. Just after I had taken that photo, I
got back in the car to leave when I saw an eastbound UP mixed freight in
my side mirror on the lower line. What resulted was a meeting of two
UP trains in mountaineous terrain. Talk about luck. The time was about 930
a.m.
From this distance, the trains looked like they were on an HO layout with
perfect scenery.
