    This is my first post and I'd like to first say hello to all the railfans here. I'm going to Wyoming in a month or two to railfan. I know about the Powder River Basin, BNSF, and UP. But I would lke to see somthing different-BNSF and UP is about all I see around here.

    Unless you sneak over to northwest Nebrasksa or over to Colony, WY to catch DM&E, about all you'll get will be BNSF and UP.

    For the Bighorn Divide & Wyoming, check out this page, and this article from the Casper Star Tribune. I looked for, but wasn't able to find out much about the C&W, although they did operate around Guernsey at one time.

    I can't think of any other operations, beyond those already named.

    Happy photographing! Let's see what you find!

    WIldBill-

    I forgot to welcome you to Trainboard- my mistake. I hope you'll be able to get lots of great shots, and sher 'em with us here on Railimages.

    As for UP, I've chased UP from Pine Bluffs (the NE/WY state line) west to Cheyenne along county roads, shot at Archer, and followed 'em on Sherman Hill at Harriman, Dale, Dale Jct., and Hermosa. You won't want for awesome scenic shots on Sherman Hill.
