Who cares where the discussion takes place? It’s a western railroad potentially running a steam-powered passenger train. Posted from iPhone Date: 02/11/19 14:19 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: trainmanwes HotWater Wrote:

Date: 02/11/19 18:33 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: dcfbalcoS1 Amazing that some see no reason for placing information on the proper boards. I remember that some schools many years ago decided that teaching the alphabet was unnecessary too. Well, Now we know how well that turned out. Must have had the same teacher.

Here's what is on the UP Steam site, which is pretty much nothing but the Ogden trip: https://www.up.com/heritage/steam/schedule/index.htm To become an "insider," try https://www.up.com/heritage/steam/club/index.htm Date: 02/12/19 08:37 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: cchan006 trainmanwes Wrote:
------------------------------------------------------- > Yes hit the wrong key. Hehe. Thanks for posting. Sometimes, the moderators catch it and migrate the thread to the appropriate discussion. The poster is in the "wrong area" when hitting the "Start a New Thread" button. This mistake happens to TO members who read multiple discussions. So while he thought he was in the Steam board, he wasn't because he was busy multitasking on several interesting discussions, and was unknowingly in the Western board. As the dates get closer, I hope we get more specific information. First "rumor" was that 844 and 4014 were going to run doubleheaded, but now it seems they might run separate. I prefer they run separate, but I won't be making any plans right now. Date: 02/12/19 10:13 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: ATSF3751 HotWater Wrote:

I'm sure he is grateful for your kind input on his serious TO transgressions. What level of punishment would you recommend? Date: 02/12/19 10:25 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: Lackawanna484 Thanks for the information.
Given the importance of this steam trip, gotta think about going west to see it Posted from Android Date: 02/12/19 10:51 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: callum_out Screw the locomotive, I'm waiting for the hi-jinx in the crowds, this is going to be epic! Seriously, I'm looking forward to
a ferry move somewhere, at decent speed, maybe with some freight for braking. The Ogden thing is going to be a major circus. Out Date: 02/12/19 13:10 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: papio I see the OP edited out his reference to the UP Museum as a credible source to his info.

Unless they turn in ames or Nevada. I would interpret one way as they are not coming back! Posted from Android Date: 02/15/19 07:59 Re: Union Pacific Steam Trips Author: switchlock I would guess the passengers would be bussed back from Boone while the train continued on.
