In this video, the miles between runbys start to stretch, as we make our way across the lonesome prairie of southern Wyoming with the UP 844 and the return leg of the 2017 Boise Turn Special. We rip across the harsh winds and sub-zero temperatures to meet the train at several different locations including Granger and Rock Springs. The train was held up just outside Green River for close to two hours, as a massive parade of Westbound freight trains needed to come through to get fresh crews and carry on. We then chug slowly into the day's destination of Rock Springs roughly 2 and a half to 3 hours behind schedule. The train may remain a bit more on schedule tomorrow, but the cold wind and snow will definitely get worse from here. Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!!
