UP 1905
On one of its first runs, Union Pacific's then new Laramie turn-around local (nicknamed the Laramie Laser by its crew) digs into the grade as it climbs the Harriman Line at Speer, WY led by a trio of North Little Rock rebuilds. Unfortunately, like the laser itself, the solid sets of SD40s were short lived. Speer is also the Junction with the mainline to Denver with the west leg of the Greeley Sub connector in the foreground. In the distance Local 60 can be seen on the east leg, awaiting its turn in Cheyenne.
Recently the old steam era water tank here was razed after many decades of quietly observing the passage of trains at this busy location.
