Laramie Train Parts Coming Together

Railroad Heritage Park, to begin construction in 2009, will bring together four pieces of railroad equipment currently scattered in various places around Laramie, Wyoming.

It will be a great train: A snow plow, engine, bunk car and caboose – a 1950s snow train assembled to keep the rail lines open in the fierce Wyoming winters. It will be a tribute to the hard working men and women of Laramie and the West who braved the elements to keep the other trains running. The train will not only serve an historical function, but it will also be “coherent”, meaning that it could have existed in the real world, operating in exactly this assemblage. This will make our display rare, valuable, and a potentially strong tourist attraction. For more information or to contribute to this effort, contact Larry Ostresh: larryostresh@gmail.com
