When we moved to a new location at the wye at Speer, we watched the Cheyenne Frontier Days excursion train pass through the wye in order to reverse direction and back into Cheyenne and got to watch it at slow speed. If you ever need location and time of the train, simply ask one of the several fellows with a hand walkie-talkie next to you; you'll get more info than you ever wanted. I noticed how spiffed it was all Simonized with the helpers and the new flag scheme. I don't know if you need a shot of the tanker all spiffed but the new flag scheme on the attached wrinkly metal.caught my eye. The #844 will be stored in the engine house and out of the sun. I got some of my other shots at the water tank here. They don't much need water - the yellow water tank car with the flag backs steamer's tender. Eddie learned they would be heading for Cheyenne with the Frontier Days Special. Duh, same as every year for the Frontier Days Special. My exposure was darker than expected and we had no decent sky. I prefer to have clouds to set off the scene. Here, diesels shepherd the run but not for power (this engine can pull, thank you) but they are used to provide the safety power (dynamic braking - ceramic resisters over the engines burn off the current produced by the diesel traction motors) for the train thus guaranteeing arrival at the destination. And they help handle the yards.
The excursion cars carry dignitaries, crew, passengers and extra brakes. This chunk of metal is really valuable at this time in history. I realize that I happen to live in a fortuitous spot and will wait until the next steam up. If it is cooler, steam will leak wherever possible and provide great shooting. Find further information here. Or track it down on Google.

Taking advantage of the then-new Eurostar service, a weekend visit to Brussels. I am guessing these flags represent ancient guilds, the scissors motif indicating one for barbers.

VARPALOTA TRAINING AREA, Hungary - The U.S. flag is seen alongside the Dutch and Hungarian flags during Exercise Saker Falcon 2014 here, March 30. Saker Falcon is a multinational training exercise involving roughly 200 Soldiers from U.S. Army Europe's 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, two Dutch Air Assault battalions, and Hungarian military forces. The objectives of the training include enhancing joint combined interoperability with allied and partner nations and preparing participants to operate in a joint, multinational, integrated environment with support from Hungarian governmental agencies. Saker Falcon, underway from April 3 through April 17, reinforces U.S. Army Europe's strategic objectives to increase regional flexibility, preserve and enhance NATO interoperability, and facilitate multinational training.
