The UP ran 844 on 9-16-89 on an excursion train from Cheyenne to Denver and return. Here, the train is leaving Cheyenne. See more at www.railroad-crossing.com.
at least you were luckey enough to see that paint scheme and that engine I have seen 3985 but never the 844 ever although I am scheduled to go to Cheyenne Frontier days this year behind UP steam I hope its with the 844 nothing against 3985 I love that engine too but I want to see the 844
I remember seeing that train heading south through Brighton when I was 9.

I like 4449 just not as much as 2472, but when I look at pictures of them doubleheading, it's the prettiest train in the world.

Compromise. In the east the best looking steamer is 611. In the west its 4449.

I have to disagree. Sp #4449 daylight takes the cake.
