Union Pacific 844 steaming to North Platte Railfest
The main rail line through North Platte is the busiest rail freight corridor in the world, processing more than 150 trains and 10,000 railcars every 24 hours. How do they manage? Get a close up view at Rail Fest 2011. You won't believe it. People who are dazzled by heavy equipment that can almost move mountains are in for a treat at the Rail Fest 2011 with Union Pacific Railroad displays at Cody Park, for more info please see -

  • Who is the guy in the white Toyota 4Runner?  You catch him in a lot of your vids. Great acceleration run capture, also.

  • @sgtredbluered That might be Dan

  • Love the shot at Archer Skip!  Damn, wish I could have been out there.

  • @cnwlover it sure was a cool and rainy day

  • Did you get a new camera, Skip? This video looks great, you could sell it to the history channel!!

  • Is it me, or was 844 repainted to her early '60's paint scheme?

  • From the thickening fog, the 844 emerges like a ghost from beyond the grave.

  • Awesome!

  • What a GORGEOUS beast!!!! And another GREAT video!

  • this is the best clip ever.

    did you ever think of installing cameras on board,supported by beams etc

  • @BigUnitBeef She is down for some major work. She's run some test runs a few months ago, check on UP's website. I'm sure she'll be back next year pulling excursions again.

  • Hey Skip, haven't seen 3985 in a while. Old girl spin a bearing or something?

  • At 10:00 minute it looks like the 844 is running so smooth, so nice... Well done Skip!!!

  • Very nice video. I hear she carried the 3985's whistle out there and one off a big boy on the way back.....excellent stuff.
