Allen drew and printed out on the 3D printer these company houses to fill in the south side of the tracks with some town. They are just temporarily set in place at this time. Allen wants to weather them and landscape the "yards," probably with streets perpendicular to the tracks to make a safe space for operators to reach the hand operated turnout ground throws.
The viaduct is 6thStreet near the Rawlins Depot hidden by the coal tower.

The Texaco oil outlet and the Kasoming Oil tanks between the depot (in front of the cutaway part of the backdrop) and the coal tower (with part of a concrete footer just visible at the lower right corner of the photo.

Another view of the oil companies. The spur behind the Kasoming Oil Tanks with the flat car on it serves Larsen metals, one of two scrap metal yards on the layout. the other is in Downtown Ogden and is served by SP tracks.

The model bend around the end cap that joins benches 1/5 and 2/3 just west of Dale Junction and prior to the Hermosa Tunnels. It is hard to distinguish Kelly Daniels' backdrop and the model scenery that Allen ut down.
I numbered the aisles of the layout so the benches are designated by calling out the aisles on either side of a bench.

Rancher wearing coveralls (!) checking his stock and a saddled house without a rider, probably wondering where the wrangler is--maybe heeding a nature call behind the snow fences.

Where are the tracks relative to this photo? Snow fences are typically oriented parallel to the railroad ROW and perpendicular to the climatologically strongest windspeeds. |

Different cow, different farmer, different pickup. Allen's scenery with Lenny's 3D printed "steel" snow fences. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_fence for the science behind snow fences.

Cowboy on eastern slope of Sherman Hill near Cheyenne. Must have been a very, very wet spring and summer, because the grass is very tall. I lived in Cheyenne from age 1 1/2 to about 15, and remember the grass that tall, or nearly so, only once--when we took a trip back from California in about 1957, or thereabouts.

Interesting that the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. |

High grass, fences and power poles along a cut for Tracks #1 and #2 up Sherman Hill just out of Cheyenne.

This view is looking from the Hanna coal mines area back toward the Hanna coal marshaling yard. Allen scratch built the trestle for the mine access track which crosses over itself. The curves are all tight radii from the yard up to the end of the mines, so there are two sets of diesels for the Hanna coal drag job. There is a dedicated 4 axle diesel for yard to mines work, and a consist of RS-3's for the coal drag delivering coal from Hanna to Medicine Bow, Laramie, Harriman, and Cheyenne. At Cheyenne hopper loads are distributed to City Coal, the coal tower, the yard power house, and Wycon Chemical just west of Cheyenne. Naturally, the consist returns all empty hoppers back to the Hanna Yard.
