Lol, I wonder if the steamer has a smoke machine to make it seem like its doing the work in it, and all the work is actually done by the ACE!

@SpillSumFun I understand the ACE is a helper as they do not want to strain the 844 because the challenger is currently down.

Thanks , Mike

Great video Mike. I especially like how you feature the train and resist any temptation to "guild the lily". I note and appreciate RailfanningRulez' comment about the Heritage SD 70. Those heritage units are beautiful. However, I have to admit I like the idea of an old passenger special pulled ONLY by the steam engine. I suppose that it too risky, as the old machines could face reliability problems. I like to pull my old UP smoothsides with my Katy SD70ACe. (n scale)

UP 844 will be going past my house in Mesa AZ on the 12th. I should have some great videos too. Going to chase it up and past my house into Tempe.

@IMRROcom By then it will have way more cars and hope it is not 35 degrees like it was this AM.

Wish she would come east and I don't mean Chicago, I mean like New York and stuff like that. Ah well I guess I will have to live without. I remember watch the 3985 video when she did the Santa Claus train for CSX.
