Here are some of the pictures I took of our tour at the UP Steam Shop! They had a E9 Diesel parked inside for maintenance and the 3985 4-6-6-4 Locomotive in for repairs. The front truck was off of the 3985 and the were doing other maintenance to the boiler.
We were supposed to have the 3985 pulling our train this trip but they didn't get it finished in time. All work in this shop is done on a volunteer basis so they don't push schedules for work to be done.
A few of the pics were taken in what's left of the round house and one of the turntable. I've seen a photo of the grounds in it's hey-day and it was a huge yard and locomotive servicing facility with a complete round house. Only a few stalls remain.
After lunch and completing our tour, we boarded buses and headed back to Denver!
