Wyoming Towns on I-80

September 19
Interstate 80 in Wyoming, pretty much follows the old Trans Continental Railroad route. All the major towns along I-80, with the exception of Cheyenne, are spaced approximately 100 miles apart. At the western end is Evanston Wy, the 100 mile marker is Rock Springs, 200 mile marker is Rawlins, 300 mile marker is Laramie, and at the Eastern end is Pine Bluff. All these towns were established or grew out of being construction camps for the building of the railroal. The one big exception along I-80 is Cheyenne, which grew as a crossroads between Denver Colorado and Casper Wyoming.
