They covered more distance when they went to Memphis. This isn't as much. 844 performed very well with no issues at all when it ran to Memphis. It also ran great on its test run last week.

Good for you Bob!..how did she sound?..and I was kind of suprised at the short consist, but makes it look like a short local. Also looks like no public/paying passengers this trip?

The ole gal sounded square and loud. I too was glad Ed didn't have a diesel along. No paying passengers along, just guests. On the down hill run to Laramie I got to visit with the pilot engineer in the dome car. Started relating old war stories when he mentioned he saw a video of the 844 shoving a freight train. He thought it was over Sherman. I corrected him as it was from Burns to Archer that I shoved a freight with 844. It was a good trip even as short as it was for me. I had to get back to the UPHS office. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/18/17 19:05 by Bob3985. Date: 04/18/17 19:18 Re: 844 around Borie this morning.

I have faith in the crew. Maybe Mr.George really did clean things up in there! Posted from Android Date: 04/18/17 20:21 Re: 844 around Borie this morning. Author: ProAmtrak Maybe!

Author: ProAmtrak I agree, that's why I'm still skeptical and gonna stay that way until he's gone or something bad happens that really shows who knows how to run a steam program and who doesn't!

Date: 04/19/17 10:08 Re: 844 around Borie this morning. Author: UP6936 The tail car is the bunk car for the rotary snow plow set in Cheyenne. It has a kitchen and bunks for sleeping. They have used it twice now when going on trips.
