In Reply to: OT - UP 844 Steam engine comes to town! posted by Todd Wilson on Wednesday, May 03, 2006 at 1:02PM :
That's the old UP 8444, renumbered several years ago. It's based in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I've chased the old girl across Wyoming and Utah several times with my ex-brother in law, who is a train nut from childhood. Imagine a '51 hot rod pilot house Dodge pickup going down I-80 at 100+ miles per hour with a frenzied guy hanging out of the passenger window shooting pictures of old 8444 with his custom built dual 35mm camera rig. That steam engine can move very fast!
