Western Railroad Discussion > 4014: was it worth the wait?Date: 12/13/19 18:15 4014: was it worth the wait? Author: rock4310 UP 4014 was scheduled to leave Hays, KS at 8:00 am. Dutifully I went into Shively Field a little early on the west end of town in heavy snowfall just knowing that UP would keep 4014 on schedule. One hour and over four inches of snow later I finally heard that deep steam whistle that gives one goosebumps. The steam and snow combination was perfect. Yes Virginia, it was worth the wait!
