[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [B]Cheyenne never has had rail service since A-Day. The line from Denver converges with the Overland route at Borie which is some five miles West of Cheyenne. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr did call on the UP Cheyenne station until the mid to late 1970's. The Cheyenne stop was moved to Borie in order to eliminate a 'long-distance' backup move between Cheyenne and Denver. Seems like I remember an article in Trains Magazine in like August 1974 by a guy who was traveling on the original USA Rail Pass who talked about the engines moving to the opposite end of the train and pulling it backwards for a couple of hours up to the original Overland route at Cheyenne. Anyone else remember this? [/QB][/QUOTE]
