UP844 & SP4449 Puget Sound Steam Special, WA (USA) 2007

How come 4449's number plates read '844'?

Pranks between the 4449 and 844 crews. " Southern Pacific 844 and Union Pacific 4449" ect..

When you taped the train leaving Tacoma, I was standing right next to you. Sure was something to see, huh?

Thanks for your video

Excellent video!

The X means "Extra" and 844 is the train number. So 4449 was a helper added. Why I don't know. But remember reading about it.

The track bulletins were issued to UP 844, so to avoid changing their track bulletins, which in this case there would have been 5 or 6 sets, they simply made the lead "unit" 844, in accordance to the rules, because the lead unit has to refer to the number the track bulletins are issued to.

I have a question if anyone here knows...

WHY did 4449 have "844B" on the cab?

And why did it have X844 on the number plates?

[trainmaster844]

844B was a joke by the 4449 crew. On the ferry move from Vancouver to Tacoma, 4449 became UPRY #845! LOL!

I have no idea what the X-844 on the 4449's train indicator boards means.

[Beaver456]

X means "Extra" and 844 the train number. So 4449 was helping Extra 844. Remember reading about it.
