From the Cheyenne Depot Museum website:
In 1993 the Union Pacific donated the building to the City of Cheyenne and Laramie County, and stabilization of the building was begun a year later. Since then, the building has undergone various stages of an extensive rehabilitation project. The first floor now houses the Cheyenne Depot Museum and a brewpub/restaurant. The upper levels house offices for various city and private concerns related to tourism, economic development and the museum.
The museum tells the story of the Cheyenne beginnings during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Union Pacific Depot and the Railroad it is named after. You can view the Union Pacific Main Yard from the Coupler addition on the west end of the Depot, and experience more of the history of the Cheyenne Depot Museum.
The Depot Museum and Plaza has become the cultural and entertainment hub of Downtown Cheyenne, striving to provide educational programming and events in conjunction with the City of Cheyenne that enrich the community. We thank you for your support and invite you to view our calendar of events!
The Cheyenne Depot Museum is a private 501c(3) nonprofit organization working to maintain the National Historic Landmark structure known as the Historic Union Pacific Cheyenne Depot. We receive no City, State, or Federal operational funding, and as such rely on the support of our members, event patrons, museum visitors, and contributors to help generate funding to ensure the proper care and maintenance of the building. Please contact us to learn about ways you can preserve this treasure for future generations.
We are located at 121 West 15th Street in Downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001. We are one block south of the Lincoln Hwy (Lincolnway) and right near the corner of Hwy 85.
From the Cheyenne.org website about the Big Boy Steam Engine:
Even in retirement, Old Number 4004 remains an imposing sight. The world's largest steam locomotive, this powerful coal-fired engine was designed to pull a 3600-ton train over steep grades between Cheyenne, WY and Ogden, Utah. The 4004 is one of the eight remaining Big Boys on display throughout the country.
On display year-round in Holliday Park. The engine is in the southeast corner of the park. You can park your car in the lot accessible from East 17th Street and Morrie Avenue.

A Whirlwind Tour of Cheyenne Wyoming
On this Airstream Life vLog, we are exploring Cheyenne Wyoming in a whirlwind tour. The first stop is the Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center which included Dee the Mammoth! Coolest Rest Stop EVER! We could have spent a lot more time there and it was free! Our next stop was the Historic Railway Depot where we got to see a bunch of the boots! Those boots were kicking! We made it to the Wyoming State Museum 15 minutes before close (ooops!) but did a quick lap (again a really cool and free museum!). After a bit more walking around we finally headed home. We need to come back to Cheyenne for sure!
