Cheyenne Depot Days | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

My wife and I just returned from Cheyenne Depot Days. There were some pleasant surprises. The 844 appears to be getting work done: the boiler has been marked with a grid for ultrasound testing, stay bolts are being replaced, and one driver pair is gone, I assume to Strasburg, PA for work. One of the crew said the 844 will be running first, then the 4014, then the 3985. Different this year is that the roundhouse was not open. The explanation was that it is too dangerous because of many parts laying around. I uploaded a bunch of pictures and have more so let me know if you have specific interests. The two E9 As and one B was outside but we were not allowed to walk over to them.

Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy!

I added pictures of 3985 and 5511 from last year since we weren't allowed to go into the roundhouse today.

Interesting. Since there is no longer a Boilermaker at the shop, who is doing the "boiler work"?

I was hoping you knew!

My favorite photo today is of the 4014's smokebox interior showing the "dual exhaust!"

I'd do anything to be able to go.

Was 5511 visible?

I did spend most of the day working on a UP steamer, kind of counts...

No. #5511 is in the roundhouse, with 3985. Nobody is allow to see inside the roundhouse anymore.
