Operated by Air Georgian during 2016 when this was taken. She was built in 1999 for Midway Airlines of the USA as N584ML.
Over to Canada as C-GKFR with Air Canada Regional in 2002, along with Air Canada Jazz, Jazz Air and then Air Georgian.
To desert storage at Marana and registered as N583CC from the end of 2020. Presumably replaced by the A220.
Despite the categorization of eastern Wyoming by many as a flat, boring, prairie wasteland, I have found this stereotype to be somewhat inaccurate in many places.
The former Colorado & Southern mainline, now BNSF's Front Range Subdivision, is one such place. What it may lack in the tree department, it makes up for with grades, curvature, & some impressive cuts as the tracks seemingly weave through the surrounding sandhills.
Seen here negotiating a deep cut, the H-LAUPUE1-29A squeals through an S-curve as it approaches Farthing, WY. The train has been battling up the 1% grade for the last 40 miles or so and has about 11 miles left before it will top out near Altus. However, those final miles up Altus Hill mark the steepest portion of the route between Wendover & Cheyenne at 1.68%. Apparently, back in the C&S days, it was fairly common for southbound trains to have to double Altus Hill due. I wonder how often that happens these days with BNSF's push to minimize horsepower per tonnage?
Hauling primarily Texas-bound freight (lumber, aggregates, & fuel oil) along with some LPG tanks for Arizona and a few RCPE hoppers carrying South Dakota bentonite for export by rail to Mexico, the 43 car manifest has had a non-stop trip south from Wendover having received a healthy track warrant out the gate from Restricted Limits MP 238 (Wendover) to NSS Federal (the last siding north of Cheyenne) and after the dispatcher checks to makes sure Cheyenne can handle them, they will copy another warrant giving them authority the remainder of the way into Wyoming's largest city. Eventually, the train will make its way south to Denver and onto Pueblo, CO where it terminates.
