Thanks, guys! It was an awesome day. Aug 2005 was the cabride. We were following the Ogden trip west that year. 3 of us from the model RR club chased (of which Lynn Nystrom was a member--he was our 'in'). One drove the chase car, another rode in the domes or business car, and the third usually rode in the cab. My cab ride was somewhere near Rock River to Rawlins. Each maintenance/inspection stop, we would swap. I did a lot of driving that day. After the train tied up in Rock Springs, WY that night, we grabbed dinner and drove the 200+ miles to Cheyenne in the dark. My passengers vowed to help me stay awake for the drive home. 20 minutes east of Rock Springs, I heard both of them sawing logs... Lemme tellya, if you never drove I-80 from Rock Springs to Cheyenne in the dark, it's a treat. Pitch black and all of the sudden, it's blindingly bright, then black again as a freight train passes...
