I drove alongside a span of it in Wyoming, and let me tell you, it looks exactly as it did 150 years ago - even the box cars I saw looked like they were over 100 years old. I was driving in my modern car with AC cranked, listening to Satellite Radio and using my GPS, and everything around me looked like I had transported to the wild west, it was nuts.

Does anyone know the current location of this on maps? Would be cool to see a then vs now

If you'd told me this was a slightly filtered screenshot from RDR2 I'd have 100% believed you.
