Steam & Excursion > UP 4014, 4884 West departing CheyenneDate: 04/21/14 14:19 UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: highgreengraphics This morning, the westbound of special equipment to go to West Colton to return with Big Boy 4014 departed Cheyenne, here is 4014 and 4884 making good time up Track 4 Approaching Speer Junction. Ahead, it will cross over to Track 3 and diverge onto the Borie Cutoff to rejoin Mains 1 and 2 at Borie. Looks like it is really happening! === === = === JLH

Just wondering about what CLOCK TIME was it when you took your wonderful photo ???? I presume this was taken near Speer WY ??? Thank you again for taking your photo to share with the rest of us !!! ---- Daniel Date: 04/21/14 14:37 Re: UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: dcfbalcoS1 Will these be converted to steam propulsion for the return trip ?? :) You know someone was going to ask that, huh ?

If the steam needs a diesel protect, then shouldn't the diesel have a steamer behind to ruin all the diesel foamer's pictures? (I kid, of course, for those that don't get sarcasm.)

Date: 04/21/14 20:36 Re: UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: railstiesballast A deep sense of humor about locomotive numbers....well done.
Have to wonder if the UP ever considered putting the Big Boys in the 4800 series, starting high enough to get the 4884? Date: 04/22/14 05:11 Re: UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: Super_C Nice shot in great light. I hope you also shot each of the cars as the train passed. I'm sure a lot of folks are curious about the consist. Then again, between now and when the equipment returns to Cheyenne, Trainorders will be deluged with pictures of everything....at every conceivable location and points in between!
JCL Date: 04/22/14 05:30 Re: UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: binder001 Really great photo! Those SD70Ms haven't looked this spiffy since they were new. Your "before" photo needs to be in any photo essay about this project.

Which locomotive will have to be renumbered THIS time?

John Date: 04/22/14 10:20 Re: UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: highgreengraphics Thanks, everybody - I thought nobody cared, I was the only one there at Speer at what was the only correct sun angle, I thought it was a minor miracle that they ran it south on Track 4 to go west. Great video in Utah, so the people who wanted the car consist can see their names and numbers. === === = === JLH

Date: 04/24/14 07:53 Re: UP 4014, 4884 West departing Cheyenne Author: Narniaman For those in the know. . . .just what do each of the individual cars contain?
Somehow I think the two boxcars that have "rotary snowplow" lettered on them probably don't have an actual snowplow -- so - tool shop? Are some of the passenger cars equipped with bunks and a kitchen? Thanks!! |
