Following the Cheyenne
The RCPE west of Wall crosses and then follows the Cheyenne River through the small town of Wasta, South Dakota before departing the Cheyenne to follow Boxelder Creek west to Rapid City. That stretch of railroad is very scenic and with slow trains many opportunities are available for pretty pictures. Here's one of those a couple miles north of Wasta with the Cheyenne on the right and the bridge in the background. 6/26/2023
