Yeah.  Remember when we all went over to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles after we arrived with 844 pacing with the Southern Pacific 4449 into the terminal for the 50th anniversary of Los Angeles Union Station to see the Dodgers playing the Cubs that night?

These days you can ride the "Dodgers Express" bus from Union Station to the ball park.
It's a free ride if you have a ticket for the game.

Will 1982 be along with 844 for the rest of the trip back to Cheyenne, or was it just on display with the train at Memphis?

Yes, and every time Steve stepped out to buy a Dodger dog the Cubs would score. So, Lynn and I would ask him to go get us another dog or two. Haha.

I also remember I dripped mustard on my shirt from my hot dog during the game...
