Duane Witte Holt, MO Date: 08/13/19 22:33 Re: UP 4014 smokes the competition Author: justalurker66 Yep. Look for the second numberboard behind the steam engine.
I also noted someone leaning out of the fireman's side. But the biggest surprise (for me) was the load. I didn't realize they were using 4014 for freight. Date: 08/13/19 23:38 Re: UP 4014 smokes the competition Author: refarkas This is both a once-in-a-lifetime meet and an "A+" photo.
Bob Date: 08/14/19 03:59 Re: UP 4014 smokes the competition Author: Bob3985 A rarely found meet indeed. In my many years as an engineer on the 4th district I can only think of once that I encountered a BN/BNSF train passing over the busy UP mainline at Sidney. Congrats to you for this special photo.

(And I'll keep believing that until UP puts 4014 on a stack train ALONE - like the better steamer 3985 did with the APL stack train) Date: 08/14/19 06:58 Re: UP 4014 smokes the competition Author: SP8595 Awesome catch and shot!
