The 1985 UP Denver – Laramie excursion, powered by UP 4-6-6-4 3985, makes its first photo runby of the day at EmKay, Wyoming. The 3985 is still coal-fired at this time, but the wind is making the substantial black smoke plume less than picture-perfect.
The reason railpictures.net has captured my imagination for so many years. Images of quality and distinction, in other words, amazing railroad photography.
