@Rockinrailroader765 yes I was on it instead so I wasnt able to get back to Owasso in time but hell that was the first tme I got to see 844 for real and ride her so I jumped on the chance I was on my way to Calgary Alberta in June when I passed the 4449 on here way to Owasso outside of Havre Montana I was in the dineing car on the westbound Empire Builder when I hear the dispacher talking to 4449 on the radio we missed her though no shot we passed to close outside town in a sideing
@Rockinrailroader765 yah i saw 4449 in June by accident on my way to Calgary to catch catch Calgary stampeede which I got to by rideing Rockey Mountaineer out of Vancouver Bc and rode 844 in July via takeing Amtrak back to Denver so in all that I missed the chance to get to Owasso for steam the festable passing 4449 in June was a real suprise but the dispacher screwed up getting a shot of her from the Amtrak we passed to close outside town
I would agree with CSX6000, you have to make your presence known. Trains seem to bring out the idiots more so than other things, in my experience. I saw a lot people during the Train Festival that weren't not all there!
I am officially making it a goal for me to look and act less like a foamer whenever I go see a steam locomotive.

Nice stuff here! I love that 765. And trust me... there is a way to deal with idiot photographers... the key is making your presence known.

Trust me I did. And I got some crazy stories because of it.
