After my busy morning at Archer, I decided to explore the Union Pacific mainline west of Cheyenne, and specifically to find "Track 3", the lower crossing of the Rockies usually used by the heavier and slower freights.
My DeLorme atlas guided me through a set of dirt roads, to arrive here at Harriman, presumably named after the famous 19th century entrepreneur and owner of the UP, responsible for the establishment of the railway and its drive west from Omaha Nebraska.
It was only when marking up the map that I remembered that this is very close indeed to the State Line with Colorado.
After a good old wait, by which time I'd located this view, a westbound appeared, lead by SD60 6033 and C41-8W 9453.
