Cheyenne Depot Museum

844 with the clock tower in 2005! This would have been after a major overhaul including the refurbishment of the cab interior. The last steam locomotive delivered to UP, it was capable of speeds more than 100 mph to provide fast passenger service.

The Cheyenne Opera House from 1882! Special trains from Laramie and Fort Collins brought in visitors for the opening night opera, Olivette.

Looking north from the Depot's portico, around 1907. Hotel Becker is on the left, the Warren Emporium is on the right. Warren shared the building with the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad and then the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy until 1927 when the building was torn down.

The Sherman Hill Train Show is June 13 and 14 at Archer! More info at: https://www.shermanhillrails.org/

This is UP Steam Engine 3966 rolling onto the turntable in Cheyenne in 1957. Built in 1942, the Challenger class locomotives had a 4-6-6-4 wheel configuration and influenced the design of the Big Boys. Photo by John Dziobko.
