RARE Switching in Laramie 2024

Union Pacific’s 1768 getting ready to take hoppers to the Monolith Plant on the LVRR, Laramie’s last Shortline. What was once a 9 mile trip has been reduced to a 1 mile spur beside the mainline. The Plant Recently sold Hollis and Eastern 8170, and now transport cars in the plant yard with a small bulldozer like vehicle. The rail welding yard isn’t even used anymore, and will most likely be bulldozed in the coming years. I have a hunch that there are plans to increase the number of yard tracks to accommodate more trains. There are also several abandoned tracks and ties in town, if anyone wants one, I can document all of them.
