On June 28th, 2023, I tried to count the locomotives stored on the Black Hills Subdivision at the BNSF Donkey Creek Yard at Rozet, Wyoming in the two lines of locomotives from this picture, but there’s too many and seem to go on forever. The trains on the far left are coal trains, loaded and empty, waiting on crews. According to news reports I found online, this yard was scheduled to close June 5th, 2022, affecting 38 jobs, but from what I could see there were people working in the yard, so I’m not sure if that happened or not. The reported layoff was due to the tough market for coal. It has been a bit over a year and perhaps things have changed since then.

Union Pacific 2553 leads an eastbound mixed freight into the rising sun as it passes under the signal bridge, approaching the yard at Cheyanne, Wyoming, on the Laramie Subdivision on June 18th, 2023. Everything reflected in the water from an early morning rain adds a nice bit of drama to the image, however, the mosquitoes were terrible near it!
