City engineer requests $1.17 million increase to Reed Avenue rail project design contract

CHEYENNE – Members of the Cheyenne City Council are considering a contract modification that would nearly double the cost of design work on the Reed Avenue Rail Corridor Project. The item, which was discussed at the council’s Finance Committee meeting Tuesday, would add $1,166,647 to the existing design contract for the project. Before the modification, the design contract amount was $1,320,919. If the additional funding request is ultimately approved, it would total $2,487,566. The Reed Avenue project plan was first drawn up in 2018 after the city’s engineering department received $4 million from the 2017 sixth-penny sales tax ballot. Although city officials tried to begin work immediately, they soon came to realize that BNSF Railway — not the city — owns the right of way in the corridor, and therefore underestimated how much the project would cost. Council members slowed down their work on the project until earlier this year, when officials got back in contact with BNSF officials to work out an agreement. City Engineer Tom Cobb told committee members Tuesday that the additional funding would expand the project beyond its original scope and address requirements that emerged during coordination with BNSF Railway and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

UP 844 Completes Test Runs Around Cheyenne

Union Pacific 4-8-4 “FEF-3” 844 underwent testing around its home base in Cheyenne, Wyo., late last week, with a run to nearby Speer, Wyo., and back on Friday. The locomotive pulled a string of maintenance-of-way cars unassisted out of Cheyenne in preparation for an excursion with Big Boy 4014 to Denver next month. 844 does not currently have positive train control installed, so 4014 will lead next month’s excursion.
