UP 844 Memphis Aerials
Author: csxcophotographers

With a few emails about folks wanting to see some aerial photos from Memphis and 844 on Saturday. I decided to show some of The Push Media Group's and www.kingsolomonphotos.com photos.

Great way to see some of the new walking path from above.

And are we to understand now days the diesel is manned, no longer MU'd to the 844 due to incompetence.

The diesel was not manned on this trip.  It was not needed but had it been needed it could have been controlled from the cab of 844.  It was added at Marion, Arkansas (UP's big intermodal terminal) just for the trip over the bridge and back to Marion just to honor the MoPac's heritage in Memphis.

Must have had quite a wind, it appears to be going in reverse!

Yes - it was in reverse, backing up to the UP intermodal terminal in Marion, Ark after being on display in Memphis.   The train was turned in West Memphis on Monday (minus the diesel) and headed back west on Monday Oct 24.
