RAPID CITY, PIERRE, & EASTERN TRAIN #M-HURC ROLLS ALONGSIDE THE CHEYENNE RIVER - EAST OF WASTA, SOUTH DAKOTA - SEPTEMBER 27, 2022
For "Scenic Sunday", we find ourselves alongside a portion of the Cheyenne River, which moves water for 290 miles or so from the Thunder River Basin in Wyoming to the Missouri River. After making it's descent down Wall Hill, westbound freight #M-HCRU is enjoying a bit of scenery as they follow the Cheyenne River for a few miles. With four nice looking motors, the train has plenty of power for this section of track, and is likely being used to reposition a unit (or two) to Rapid City.
