Over Sherman Hill [Union Pacific's Laramie Sub]
182,490
Published 2023-12-22
In Southeast Wyoming, the Laramie Mountains mark the division between the Great Plains and the Rockies. Rising to over 9,500 feet above sea-level, the transition from prairie to mountains is subtle, except for the Sherman Granite rock outcroppings which dominate the landscape. Three sets of steel rails twist and wind through this remarkable setting with a history dating back to the First Transcontinental Railroad.

This is incredible. I've combed much land around Harriman and Buford. It's always nice when a train rolls thru.

So I enjoy spending a lot of time on maps checking different sections of rail lines in detail. Sherman Hill is one I've never really done that with but this evening I sat back and enjoyed this while also checking out many of the locations on the map as I watched. Now I can picture it in my minds eye pretty well. Always great Aaron!

Sherman Hill today. This is the eastern reaches of Big Boy's domain. From Steam Shop to Laramie these rails defined Big Boy. Every story of Sherman Hill has to begin somewhere and that place is Steam Shop Yard in Cheyenne where Big Boy and #844 are maintained before they head to the mountain.
