Climbing Out of Cheyenne

With a monster manifest in tow, UP 8680 and friends begin the long slog up to the top of Sherman Hill. In a short distance the train will reach Speer, where the line to Denver breaks off. This train will then turn to the west to ascend the Harriman Cutoff's gentler climb of the Laramie Mountains.
