Great video man!

I'm amazed at how good the phones do!   Looked and sounded good.   I thought I had my signature crossing whistle copyrighted, but I guess it lapsed.

Yes a very nice clear video. Thanks.

That is a really. really nice video, sir!  Well done! 
It IS absolutely amazing what modern cell phones
can do, isn’t it, as far as quality of photos and videos?

And methinks I even heard her rods clanking nicely.
She looks and sounds great -- except for her  missing
Mars light.  But she is running on the maibn line -- at last.  :)

It was also greaet to hear a real bell on a crossing
gate, instead of the modern electronic ones.  I kow,
IU know -- no one pakes part for those wonderful
bells any more.  That is why it is such a treat to hear one.  :)

Now thats a train !

Very nice shots, nice and open, good angles, thanks for sharing!

There are 22 cars on this train,  Wow!  I wonder --
Is this the longest CFD train ever? 

The 3 business cars at the front of the train are all
open-platform observation cars, and each of the 3 has
her open platform facing the front.  The "Harriman" has
her open platforom at facing the rear.

Beautiful looking train.  How many passengers would you say would be riding behind the 844.

About 700.

I went to the UP's great page:  "Historical Equipment Still In Use"

https://www.up.com/aboutup/special_trains/historical_equipment/index.htm

and looked at the page for each car in the above CFD consist, and added up
the seating capacity of each car, and got 704 -- 728 if they seat people in the
dining room of each business car.  The above total assumes they sell evey seat.

The UP did a great job with this site, giving the history of each of the 45 cars
they own.  And the cars themselves are beautiful, and very comfortable.   There
are even window shades for every dome window, a very nice --  and very practical --
modification.

As I post this, it is now only 13 hours until the departure time of this special tain.
I hope for the very best for Mr. Dickens, his entire crew, and every one of the
passengers.

Got lost on that site for about an hour:)

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories from when I rode in the front row of the dome of the Challenger car on the CFD trip back in 2009. So much fun!

With 8 Dome Cars as any train with vintage passenger cars should, but I'm biased.
