The train station in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming has been restored and maintained. The architecture is quite interesting, being in a quasi-Southwestern theme.

The Union Pacific operates near here, including the "steam shop" for the historic locomotives.

The story is told that this station is positioned within the view just down the hill from the state capitol building. UP wanted the legislators of Wyoming to clearly see where the state's wealth was coming from.

The signs inside the station are quite interesting. It turns out that the interior was re-imagined in 1929 in the "Art Deco" style. The exterior remained the same.

Soon after I bought the new Panasonic GX85 in Sydney, I spent some time trying out the various settings. One such setting is called "L-Monochrome", which is a Leica-inspired monochrome palette.

Anyway, Happy Bench Monday! And Happy New Year, all!
