UP 844 in Marysville, KS - 4/27/10

Union Pacific Steam engine #844 is seen being pulled up in the old Marysville, KS, yard on April 27th, 2010. Shortly before this, the train had just dropped off her passenger load (including myself) over at the UP yard office in Marysville, then she was switched back into the old yard to be filled with fuel and water, then to rest for the night and be ready to run on into North Platte, Nebraska, the next day. #844 was on her way home to Cheyenne, WY, after being gone for 26 days on the Valley Eagle Heritage Tour to southern Texas and back. In the cab you can see Fireman Rick Braunschweig and the late Engineer Lynn Nystrom - Lynn died of a massive heart attack just 8 days later and he is missed by his many fans and friends. Enjoy the video..... ~ Jenny
