We made it to Cheyenne, WY today! We had to try out our favorite place to eat, now under new management and a new name, “The Railyard” in the Union Pacific Depot. It’s our favorite because the patio faces the UP mainline!😉 The food is very good too if you get in the area.

It's August, so it's time for vacation/a train trip!
The 2026 Union Pacific Historical Society convention is THIS week and Jim and Paul are planning on attending. We hope to see some of you there but if you can't make the convention, we hope to hear form you here or at one of the train shows that will be happening this fall. We'll be gone for just over a week as we're planning on checking out a few other train related sights along the way. Paul will try to post some updates and fun things as we go. Have a great week!
