Lived in Cheyenne for 8 years at the end of the last century. Loved it, the state and the people. If it wasn't so windy and cold in the winter I would have stayed. Looking at how things turned out, I probably should have stayed!
Spent time every summer of my childhood & beyond in Wyoming. My Grandfather farmed sugar beets in Basin & Moved to Greybull when he retired. The old farm in Basin is now the golf course. He was on the crew that put the railroad tracks through Wind River Canyon. That was probably in the depression years. He was born on a cattle ranch in Montana & around 1920 he & his brother drove the herd down to Wyoming & his family settled somewhere near Jebo which is now a ghost town. Still have many cousins in the area. When I was a kid we got to got to the big frontier days rodeo in Cheyenne. I'll never forget that. Thank you for the memories. Funny thing is every fall in the 70's my grandparents would stop to visit us in Kansas on their way to Parker Arizona for the winter, then stop in the spring for another visit on their way back. Small world.
A native of Cheyenne, My dad worked for Union Pacific till about 1960, at that train yard, was laid off when U.P. sent everything to Omaha, no other work, so we moved to California. Still my home town.
Love that museum, especially the photos and the detail of the miniature town and layout! Cheyenne looks so peaceful too. Going to smaller cities and taking in some of the museums and history, atmosphere, tranquility, etc, is such a treat to me ... because I live in the city (Dallas), so I alwayz like to get away from the city when I can, and go to the smaller towns/ cities ... been all over Texas though. Thanks
I really enjoyed seeing inside the capitol building. (And none of the statues were defaced, unlike here in California.). The railroad museum was cool too, especially the model railroad setups. Thanks for taking us along.
scale modelling is almost a disappearing art; massive time and skill involved, and a great teaching tool to learn "scale", but it's fast becoming like real trains: a lost art.
If you get to California you need to see the Railroad Museum in Sacramento. I was blown away. They had several steam train engines and others in the building.
I enjoyed seeing the State Capital and the Train Museum. Loved seeing the big cowboy boots outside of the museum too. Thank you. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Hi Russ. Brilliant video, just like yourself I love walking through old buildings and looking at the decor. Must try and get to Cheyenne sometime the whole city looks really interesting.Stay safe.
As a retiree of the Union Pacific Railroad I was glad to see you stop at the historic depot and museum. In the RR business, the turnaround track you referred to is known as a wye. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Russ , We enjoyed seeing the Museum and the train station. Really like how you choose different places to visit to show everyone . Thank you Russ.
Cheyenne looks like a great city to explore, capital building was really nice 👌, really enjoyed the train depot, thanks for the tour , great video , safe travels Russ
Beautiful state capital! Wow! So empty! You sure got your exercise going up and down those stairs! Cheyenne great not so little town! Been there several times! Love the train station museum!👍👋💕👋
Capital was Cool ! Love the architecture. Love train rides. Rode some trains in Georgia, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Colorado. Love the Big Boots at the museum. Thanks for the tour.
Hey Russ thanks for carrying me up the capital stairs wouldn't of made it on my own, Lol! ☺ Way cool Russ love seeing the different capital buildings around the country. Thanks for the tour.😊
While moving to Spokane WA in 2016, we stayed at the Super 8 Motel & ate at Outback Steakhouse that you past by on your way out to get on I-25. Fun trip with a 26' U-haul pulling a trailer with our SUV on it. Couldn't do much sight-seeing. Hate I missed the train station museum. Oh well, I got to visit it 4 years later thanks to you. Enjoy your vids.
Lived on the Airfare Base there when I was very young. Went to their wild West days and saw some guy leading the parade in his black outfit riding a white horse. Was a lot of fun to be there.
The Capitol building was beautiful. I like looking at old buildings and museums . I am going to put this on my list. I still need to go see the Ghost Train in Ely, Nv .
I've lived in WY my whole life and in Cheyenne for most of that. It's very cool to see the city from a visitors perspective. It's nice to see t the history and architecture being appreciated. Thank you for being kind! (You've also inspired me to go look at the Capitol. I haven't been inside since I was a teenager, lol)
Now that's a magnificent wooden model of the Big Boy 4014 Locomotive. If you haven't already, check out the real one they've got going again. Of course, there's several Utube videos showing the restoration and operation of it. It's the biggest most powerful steam locomotive ever built.
Very cool video, Russ. I love Wyoming. If I were younger, I'd move there from Oregon. Thanks for showing us the state capitol building. We hope to get back to Wyoming later in the year.
Love your videos of Wyoming. My next trip to Wyoming I'm stopping in Cheyenne. My husband always wants to zip through there on the way to Jackson. I personally want to see inside the Historic Plains Hotel. I'm at home this year in North Carolina but I hope to be back on the road next year in our RV headed west again.
seems many downtowns especially in the smaller towns and cities are often half abandoned and even dilapidated. Nice to see Cheyenne has kept their downtown relevant.
I tried to get a train out of there in 1965 to go to Denver to get a plane home to Baltimore but the trains only ran East-West. It was snowing like crazy and I ended up taking the Colorado and Southern out of a train yard North of town. I was student at Univ. of Wyoming in Laramie. The old stone building looked the same then. What the "Hell on Wheels" TV series and you'll get more history of Cheyenne.
Thx for sharing Russ.. We never got to Wyoming.. Cliff always avoided anyplace he thought there were no semi precious stones to look for, (Cliff my rockhound).. lol So was he wrong about Wyoming then or not? Somebody here suggested Buffalo Bill Museum, is there one, &were you able to catch it this trip? Cliff would have loved train museum especially model train setup! That is amazing, very real looking... Be well, Russ..
Another great episode. I really like the old buildings in the US (as well as the scenery), they have a certain character to them. The railway museum was very interesting, as I take an interest in railway modelling here in the UK! Can't wait 'til tomorrows travels. Mind how you go
Have not been to Cheyenne since 1974. Enjoyed the road and Capitol tour. Sadly I did not remember much. We had a Gibson's then Kmart came in and we were in the big time. Had a old hardware store one block off east-west main drag you drove down where the floor boards were so worn the wood was mounded up around the nail head and they had the proverbial silver dollar nailed to the floor for newbees to try to pack up.
Thoroughly enjoyable video coming from a train buff Australian who lived and travelled through the USA in the 80's in my 1969 VW campervan from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in South America. I therefore enjoyed your recording driving along the interstate and through Cheyenne city. Beautiful Capitol building. Magnificent railroad museum and great layout. My train club is building a huge layout in an old railway station in Adelaide South Australia which you can see in my TH-cam channel Train Lord. Check it out for the train buffs.
Im from Wyoming...graybull wyo.. All this did was make me home sick... I pray to god that after i retire i can come home ... Maybe cody this time its closer to the park...
Try Vedawoo State Park. No reservations needed. About 10 to stay the night. You pay there or online. Also Curt Gowdy State Park is good but always overcrowded and you have to reserve online.
Their is a KOA camp ground just east of town...Terry Bison ranch camp ground just south of town..Or if your adventure seeking take HappyJack road west out of town past Vedawoo road to telephone road ( It's marked well ) and you can dry camp their for free...About 35 miles out of town on the right..Pretty area..
Could you please let everyone know. That if there Onan Generator is running and then shuts off. There is a problem with the dip stick, just have to take out some oil. Should read on dip stick halfway between full and add. this will fix the problem.

Cheyenne is so beautiful, and if you noticed there no litter or anything like it.
Sneek up to Cody and go through the buffalo Bill museum. Fantastic.
That's a beautiful Capital Building. And the State Emblem set in the entrance floor is wonderfully done. Once again Russ, thanks for the Virtual Tour.
If you get to California you need to see the Railroad Museum in Sacramento. I was blown away. They had several steam train engines and others in the building.
I was born and raised in Cheyenne, WY. I lived about 5 blocks from the Depot as a child, on 18th and House. Nice filming~
I enjoyed seeing the State Capital and the Train Museum. Loved seeing the big cowboy boots outside of the museum too. Thank you. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Beautiful Wyoming
It's a good thing you didn't stop by the capital building in Colorado this year. They would've given your van a free paint job :-)
Hi Russ. Brilliant video, just like yourself I love walking through old buildings and looking at the decor. Must try and get to Cheyenne sometime the whole city looks really interesting.Stay safe.
Thanks for the memories Russ! I left Cheyenne 41 years ago next month. Got married while living there, then the wind blew us west!!!
Wow, that model train setup was awesome. Thanks for showing it to us.
Thinking the same fantastic video such a beautiful place
As a retiree of the Union Pacific Railroad I was glad to see you stop at the historic depot and museum. In the RR business, the turnaround track you referred to is known as a wye. Thanks for sharing.
Russ, I love your vid's, they remind me of the 11 years I spent traveling through all the places you feature. Be Safe and keep traveling my friend...
Newcastle WY has a cool littl' county courthouse ...neat old architecture for shure. well preserved...Thanks ..!
I admire your ability to get up and get going early.
We love train museums. Train Museum in Carson City is one of the best I've seen.
What a beautiful old courthouse
Going on the road with you is addictive ,loving it . Thank you
Never been to Cheyenne, or anywhere in Wyoming, but I have now. Thanks Russ!!! Very good stuff!

Russ, you definitely have an eye for beauty, it shows from the architecture to mother nature. you have an uncanny ability to capture like few others.
I love train museums, thanks!

Great video Russ and you get extra points for visiting the railway museum.
Hey Russ, only 121 degrees in Lake Havasu today!
I was there about 10 yrs ago and there was nobody around....very nice building.
Behind on my RVerTV viewing - yikes! Always so enlightening to see where you are headed - great times for sure. Thanks Russ 🚐🌻🌞😎
Nice Russ... appreciated your video... great job!
What a great video, thanks for taking us to Cheyenne, the capitol building and museum. Really impressive!
Capital was beautiful , we were there several yrs ago at a western store
While moving to Spokane WA in 2016, we stayed at the Super 8 Motel & ate at Outback Steakhouse that you past by on your way out to get on I-25.

I’m glad you were able to see the museum.
Loved the train museum. I have an O guage collection at home in a 12x9 room. The Big Boy 4014 ran through there last year.
Beautiful drive !! Thanks !
Gorgeous old building! Love it!
Now that's a magnificent wooden model of the Big Boy 4014 Locomotive. If you haven't already, check out the real one they've got going again. Of course, there's several Utube videos showing the restoration and operation of it. It's the biggest most powerful steam locomotive ever built.
Wyoming is my favorite state. I will be moving there soon.
Very cool video, Russ. I love Wyoming. If I were younger, I'd move there from Oregon. Thanks for showing us the state capitol building. We hope to get back to Wyoming later in the year.
Hey Russ!! Great journey!! (Grand Canyon 110 today .Lake Havasu 119 tomorrow). Keep going north to cooler weather!!
🙋♀️Hello Russ! As a train lover, I enjoyed seeing the Train Depot Museum. Did you look twice at that man? He looked so real.👍
Lovely!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!
wow, love the museum!!!
Enjoyed the ride. I need to get back up to the Train Museum.
Love your videos of Wyoming. My next trip to Wyoming I'm stopping in Cheyenne. My husband always wants to zip through there on the way to Jackson.

Wow it's beautiful Capitol building
seems many downtowns especially in the smaller towns and cities are often half abandoned and even dilapidated. Nice to see Cheyenne has kept their downtown relevant.
Man, even the darn floor was awesome in the Capital
appreciate the tour. love the boots..thanks Russ. Be blessed

I’ve been to Cheyenne Wyoming twice. From east to west and from North South.

Do not forget to go to Scottsbluff, NB. Its along the way to Mt Rushmore.
Awesome video I've lived here for 10 years never been in either building
Have not been to Cheyenne since 1974. Enjoyed the road and Capitol tour. Sadly I did not remember much. We had a Gibson's then Kmart came in and we were in the big time.

Where are the people in Cheyenne 😬? Pretty town and nice video. Thanks Russ and stay safe !
Nice Vacation Tour

Lovin' the videos Russ 😊
For most of us from the rest of Wyoming Cheyenne is a suburb of Denver. We just stuff all the politicians in the corner
This was a great video. Here is a State Capital that looks more like small town USA!
thanks Russ.
Cheyanne cool city no traffic
Russ Best Regards
Russ, if you ever get the chance, go to Austin and check out the Texas state capitol building. It's pretty cool.
Beautiful Video
They just got done renovations on the state capital of Wyoming. It’s been a few years since I was in the capital.
You get up early enough to visit every ghost town.
THANKS
There seem to be a lot of fireworks stores in Wyoming. Notice that when I've been through there.
Yeah there is like three stores in Cheyenne we lived for like 8 years recently left to come back home California to a place that is sad now lol 😂
Great video. Cheyenne, WY; surrounded by ICBMs and antelope, both of which are fast. In all seriousness, Cheyenne is a great town. 👍
wow a museum that was open?
Hey Russ, show us the RV parks /Campgrounds your staying in.
Stay away from the wind River reservation. My nephew lives out there and he said the c-19 is rappent .
Im from Wyoming...graybull wyo.. All this did was make me home sick... I pray to god that after i retire i can come home ... Maybe cody this time its closer to the park...
The Train Museum was pretty cool oh, I'm glad they didn't give you the boot.
I live in Cheyenne wy it ok of a town I lived here for over 30 years
This is new. Those paintings just got painted a few days ago
Fancy building. Think back to when Edison was using bamboo for filament.. let there be light!
We visited the model railroad when it was first being reconstructed by an English man.
Where are you staying everyday we need campground info
Try Vedawoo State Park. No reservations needed. About 10 to stay the night. You pay there or online. Also Curt Gowdy State Park is good but always overcrowded and you have to reserve online.
Their is a KOA camp ground just east of town...Terry Bison ranch camp ground just south of town..Or if your adventure seeking take HappyJack road west out of town past Vedawoo road to telephone road ( It's marked well ) and you can dry camp their for free...About 35 miles out of town on the right..Pretty area..
I saw Curt Gowdy state park out of town
And a tour inside your camper!!
Wyoming is still FREE.
Could you please let everyone know. That if there Onan Generator is running and then shuts off. There is a problem with the dip stick, just have to take out some oil. Should read on dip stick halfway between full and add. this will fix the problem.
Surprised you could walk around so freely, no security
Seems there is a three legged giant walking around who has lost his boots!
