Laramie Wyoming Railroad Cab Ride - Larry Ostresh

Описание: WYCO Railroad on its' last year of operation in 1996. The excursion train had ceased at the end of the 1995 season. The passenger train was fairly profitable and popular but the severe winters on the Albany Loops and the various cuts limited the excursion seasons too much to make good income. Even though the state of Wyoming had just paid for new railroad crossings on the entire branchlike in 1995, scrapping began the next year in 1997. The yard track remained until 2012.

The last WYCO trains carried fluorspar out of Cowdrey, CO.

The branch connected to UP on a wye straight ahead at the end. The locomotives with the ore cars are CSX 6798, and SP 6323.

The long bridge over the Laramie river is still there on the Greenbelt trail.

We believe this may have been filmed by Larry Ostresh as he conducted the transfer from VHS to dvd. This is filmed from a highrail, a truck with mounted wheels for railroads. More to come, we're likely to livestream the video in full, and upload it in multiple segments.
