Union Pacific's Cheyenne Depot is now the Wyoming Transportation Museum, or Cheyenne Depot Museum. Passenger train service ended during October 1979 when Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr began serving Cheyenne with a stop in Borie, several miles to the west.

Comments

  • A local group of Trainiacs or Rail Buffs wants a pedestrian bridge across the rail yards from the old depot to the steam engine shops of Union Pacific. For fans and tourists to be able to watch the action there.
  • It looked better back when it had the giant UP logo on the face of the building directly below the tower. (My opinion)
