Steam Engine Fan Here


 Shortly after 11:16 am Northbound in Greeley, CO. Should be home tonight in Cheyenne and not likely to run again in 2021.

Given how tight historically the Union Pacific runs, and has for 150 years, it is wonderful to see their steam engines.

Great pic, I missed Big Boy THREE times on their trip down this way... sigh

You ought to avail yourself of the Silverton to Ouray run.

Thank you.

It seems the UP wants to make an annual tour - might come your way again.

Agree. Next week Sisty and I plan to ride the cog railroad to the top of Pikes Peak. My medical problem has postponed the trip twice this summer.

I desperately wanted to see her, but we got a great deal on a last-minute cruise and missed our chance.
Drat.

This was our view. We could feel the heat from the boiler. At the end of the video, wife and I are in the crowd across the street.

You got a great view. Not the greatest video but Tie Siding, WY when the 4014 was hauled back from CA to be refurbished in Cheyenne.
