Chasing the Union Pacific 844 Steam Locomotive
Loading...
Uploaded by cchan006 on Apr 23, 2009
Union Pacific Steam Shop's 4-8-4 (FEF-3) Northern #844 visited California for the Western Heritage Tour. I chased it from Oakland to Stockton, California, with a memorable and historical meet at Hearst with Southen Pacific 4-6-2 #2472 and Robert Dollar Tank Engine #3. There will be a sequel to this video with all the extra railroad activities that happened during the chase.

@djc6394 The Diesel locomotive is a handy backup if course, but it can be used to provide electric power for the passenger cars as well. It's also nice to see the modern UP loco in the consist :)

@cchan great,

Seem diesel from the steam.

@acbar1: 844 is an oil burner, so the fuel is oil, not coal.

Forgive me for not wanting to read through all 7+ pages of comments...if this questoin has been covered, I apologize in advance. But why did it have a diesel locomotive in the line with it? Was that just for extra power to get over Altamont?

@djc6394: The reasons Tigerskunk mentioned are correct, but for this run, the crew never bothered to bring the Genset online, so it wasn't used at all, not even for dynamic braking.
