844 - no, not THAT one! The other one!
Author: RRChuck

Ex U.P. GP-30 844. Had a photographer come out to do a night shoot Monday. Pretty dramatic. Took over an hour of shooting as he painted each element with light! Remember night photo shoots where someone would run around in the dark shooting off umpteen flash bulbs? Same principle. Photo by T.Nathan Grant.

P.S. the GP-30 runs great. New paint job. www.nevadasouthern.com

The old UP livery was a hellava lot better than the current. That old Geep looks sharp! Mad credit to the photographer for his prep.

"...steam locomotive 844 was renumbered (adding an extra four) to avoid conflict with a new diesel in the same number series..."

Congratulations Chuck on the new paint job and the beautiful photograph. I wish I could have been there!

Thanks for the great night photo. When did you guys finish the repainting of the 844?

Where's the "LIKE" button when you need one? Very nice.

Gosh, don't remember the exact date of the repainting but it was around the end of January.

JB - The loco will be here next time you come "home." Take a ride!

Very much like the advertising of the sixties. So much character with the play of light!

Now that should be a candidate for a calendar picture.
