Scratching the surface of the PRB Coal Trains. These photos were taken during travel in 2010 and 2017 from Guernsey Wyoming, to Gillete Wyoming and listed from South to North. The Colorado-Wyoming Map published by Sonrisa Publications is an excellent resource showing RR locations, mileposts, equipment detectors and nearby roads. Also the out of print Altamont Press 'Central West Timetable # 1' on the re-sale market.
Key roads are SR59, SR310 and Hilight county Road, near Glendo Reservoir and at Walker Road north of Douglas Wy. The proportions of the mining equipment, the facilities and the scenery is incredible. The little travel camera was very stretched for the early photos, a Nikon 5000 was used on later trips.
