UP 8444 in Cheyenne, Wyoming

[TheRush341]

now they store her in the steamhouse

[geomodelrailroader]

this was back when #844 was a passenger locomotive and before Steam Shop placed the cars on the turntable.

[jointlinerailfan]

yeah back in the days of steam when the 3900s came to the railroad, they only extended the freight house portion of the roundhouse. of course that section is gone now. the 844 can fit in the roundhouse, they just dont put it in there anymore

[jointlinerailfan]

yeah they store her AND the 3985 in the backshop building i thought

[jointlinerailfan]

DANG!!! this was back when they still stored her in the roundhouse! VERY rare footage. NICE!!!

[dreambuilders48808]

@jointlinerailfan I didn't know they ever stopped storing her in the roundhouse.

But I know the doors couldnt be shut all the way.

[dreambuilders48808]

@jointlinerailfan Or maybe it was 3985 that wouldnt fit. Cant remember.

My wife is starting a Bed & Breakfast and Im

going to try renting the rooms out to the railfans. Money is getting real tight in Michigan!

[dreambuilders48808]

Where did that Text box come from? Is that a youtube option or did I miss something in

Imovie???

I know 844 as 8444. Chased it so many times

I dont think I will ever think of it as 844.

[trainboy94]

It's from youtube, you can delete it by going to the annotions editor, do you have anymore videos of 8444???? I love the excursions she made in the 80s, even if I wasn't born yet, she'll be coming into my area in California this year.

[DanielVolker]

Gosh, I wish she'd take a right and head north again. Be great to see the 3985 again too!

[wippydobo321]

its so stupid y they changed #844 to #8444 for a little while it was just because of some stupid #844 gp38 diesel

[SP4449Warbaby]

Hey I think that GP38 was neat because of that number.

[wippydobo321]

well it was but they shouldnt have changed #844 she better then stupid diesels and more famous i like diesels too but #844 was better like #844

[microbusss]

would you believe that GP38 still exists? & that theres SD70ACe with 8444 on it?

[dreambuilders48808]

Yup.

[NismoFinder]

@microbusss Yep! and even more amazing is that the UP 8444 ACE is in Massachusetts as we speak heading right for my town tonight (the furthest east it has ever been in the US - Ayer, Ma.)

[microbusss]

[DASCO2136]
