Cheyenne Wyoming

Cheyenne, WY

	I visited Cheyenne Wyoming for a week long work trip. There is not much to see in Cheyenne. I did find this big steam locomotive. It is call "Big Boy"
	Engine 4004 is one of the last really mighty steam engines. It was retired in 1958. It has a wheel set of 4-8-8-4. That means there are 4 guide wheels in front, a piston and set of 8 drive wheels, a second piston and 8 more 68 inch drive wheels, followed by 4 trailing wheels.
	For some reason these boots were all over town.
	Here is another one. Clearly they wanted them photographed so I did.
	Ok here is a third one. Want to see more head up there yourself.
	Cheyenne is the state capitol of Wyoming so naturally the cactus wanted a picture taken.
	Cactus Jack and I found some tourist friends from Japan. They were in town and wanted to see what strange green thing I was taking pictures of. Naturally we all took pictures.
	The is the Cheyenne train depot. Now it is a gift shop, museum, tourist info place. There are a couple of those boots out front.
	This is the Union Pacific train yard. I stopped by as shift change was happening. We say about 6 trains pull in and stop. The crew would change and the train would leave.
	What would a visit to Cheyenne be with out a visit to the Green Door.
