Steam locomotive details. Union Pacific 2-8-0 # 533. Rawlins Wyoming USA. June 1984.


I took this photo on a June 1984 vacation.
I was returning to Chicago on a motorcoach
vacation. On the return leg of a vacation that
took My Mother and Myself to Yellowstone
National Park ,Jackson Hole Wyoming,-
Mount Rushmore ,The Chief Crazy Horse
monument (in the early phases of construction)
and many other destinations in the American
West, We had spent a night in Rawlins Wyoming.
Not far from our Motel lodging, was this old
steam locomotive on display in a local city park.
The late day sun, really shows the detail of the locomotives driving wheels, rods, and appliances.
