I have been blessed to be the conductor on this train since 2012. A lot of railroaders don’t like this train and the high profile it brings to the railroad. I for one have enjoyed riding on her she is the pride of the fleet and represents our history. While we weren’t expecting what happened to happen on this day. We had 2 other very close calls. One at Carr and one just north of Platteville. We love seeing all the people that come out to see her go bye. We just ask that you stay well clear of the tracks and enjoy her beauty and power. It’s disappointing that no other business has stepped up to continue this fine tradition since the Denver post was sold.
I know maybe one day
So this took place in 2018. I would have never thought that while this was being filmed 4014 was so close to being completed. The double to Ogden was truly a sight to behold. Shame about 3985 being retired. Imagine all 3 together again.
They won’t ever retire 844 until it’s ruined beyond repair
3985 is retired until it isn’t again. At some point 844 & 4014’s boilers will expire and will need to be overhauled. I could see them waiting a few years before those happen and bringing back 3985. Kind of like a rotation.
@@natiman1345 that would be awesome.
@@natiman1345 you predicted the future. 3985 will be moving to its new home in a couple of weeks to Illinois, where its new owners will restore it back to operation.
Thanks for sharing this great video with us.
watching this video put a smile to my face! Amazing video!
Adding that diesel is a new thing. They didn 't used to do that. IMO it looks way better without. I remember hearing about back 10 - 15 years ago she was heading home and came up behind a stalled out UP freight train that was waiting on another diesel to help tow it in. Well the engineer tells dispatch they will "take it from here" couples to the last car, pours on the steam and pushes that train across the plains into the railryard. Plenty of steam whisting along the way. Until 844 came over the horizon and gave a long blast on her whistle the crew of the freight train thought they were getting "rescued" by just another UP freight train.
Union Pacific stream train haul ass locomotive back in 1930s she beautiful they don't make them anymore awesome video
It’s crazy to thing 844 was never retired from service
The incident regarding 844 is a sad one, but we must admit that she was standing a little too close to the tracks. I do pity the family, but she was dangerously close, and we cannot deny that. Brilliant video anyhow!
Excellent video with monster steam power !
That was the last Cheyenne Frontier Days special before cancelation!
Wow, you caught it a bunch! Awesome video! Did you get the southbound trip too?
Yeah defiantly took a lot of fast driving to catch up to her so many times! Also I only got it going Northbound! Thanks and glad you enjoyed!
I really hope this incident doesn’t interfere with the steam program.
Yeah I agree!
Perhaps I missed something. What incident are you referring to?
nightlightabcd Up844 inncident
Here in 2020 a virus called the corona has shut down the steam program. I believe this is what you're talkin 😂
No this is referring to the incident where 844 hit that woman a while back.
Great Video!
Thanks!
I hope its mars light will be attached again one day 844 doesn't feel the same without its mars light it would be great though if it was put back on for its run to Utah and back this April and May for the 150th anniversary of the golden spike centennial when it runs and double heads with newly restored 4014
9:49 Me and My Brother Got the train in this same place as you! 😃
Nice!
Last year in the town if Hillsdale me and my brother got the Katy 🙂
Nice!
Nice intro!!
Incredible machine....
Why did they turn the cylinder cocks on and off 15 different times to start? Never seen that happen ever.
Awesome video!!
Thanks!
Metra160 of course
*Great video. Sub you. Thank from Vietnam*
Does anyone know how heavy this train was?
Enjoy those steamers should be using them today with the joey diesel fuel shortage. Thanks like to follow anything doing with steam powered engines!
Realistically these steamers will keep going. railroads don't end just because they hit idiots, so this shouldn't either. though they may not be as relaxed on casual trespassing on right of way for safe and thoughtful railfans as they used to.
True, security will probably be stationed at the crossings!
Nice! Is it coming back south to return to Denver on Sunday?
Do you know when it would be in Brighton?
So it shoud be in Brighton at about 1:30?
Ok! Let's hope we see it!
Yeah it was supposed to but it may have been canceled due to the incident!
I heard about the incident with the 844... so sad.
MPT 765 the police are saying she probably committed suicide
Harry Rockwell do you know who it was who was flying the drone?
where is the video for that
sounds more like a suicide
Yeah it was bad!
What happened to the UP 2697 ?
I almost wonder if that was the lead engine on the train that hit and killed a kid at one of the two railroad crossings in Eaton a while ago and that's where UP had room to store it and or its where the NTSB told them to put that engine until they are done with the investigation. My other thought is that it hit a truck or something else at another crossing just south of the Lucerne crossing.
She hit a truck out in Eaton! About a year ago!
Thomas Seelmeyer Thank you
Your welcome.
that’s a long chase
Yeah!
Worth it though!
Nice video but audio is terrible
Thanks, honestly the audio is fine until the train passes!
