I could care less for 4014, it's not as nostalgic as UP is making it sound. Date: 02/26/20 21:56 Re: UP 4014 Author: JohnM Would be nice if it came back to SoCal. Some might prefer to stay home and wash the Gran Torino.

In my case, the car would be a Plymouth Breeze. If motivated enough, I would see 4014, but the sight of Dickens makes my blood boil.

Care to share your back story on how he's had such a deep personal effect on you?

Or myriad other things that aparently rip the space-time continuum to shreds here in TO land.

Posted from Android Date: 02/27/20 05:40 Re: UP 4014 Author: Bob3985 Last I heard they will be given a short period of time for travel this year, perhaps a month.
Possibility of a Northwest trip since it wasn't covered in the 150th tour last year or perhaps somewhere else. News at 11. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 02/27/20 06:09 Re: UP 4014 Author: Keystone1 Ok.....just thinking...what about just back and forth, Cheyenne to Ogden. That's where she belongs. And, while I am day dreaming, I'd love to see RMRRC type trips, Cheyenne to Laramie, with 6 or 7 photo runs, each done twice (as the U.P. used to run with 3985, or, the 844 in two tone gray). I remember riding many of those trips. Buying tickets, supporting the excursion, and STILL getting plenty of quality smokey action pictures. So...why not? HotWater?

Because there is no longer any place to turn either the whole train, nor just the locomotive, in Laramie, i.e. the wye is GONE!!!! Also, there aren't many, if any, sponsoring organizations left to sponsor such trips. Date: 02/27/20 07:45 Re: UP 4014 Author: up3985 Ed was seen scouting in Sacramento recently, so that's a clue.

It will make it up to Puget Sound, with a side trip into the Bay Area either going to or from the PNW. It would be great if they could host an excursion for ORHF.

That's because Dickens is too scared to actually run it. Date: 02/27/20 12:19 Re: UP 4014 Author: UPChallenger3985 A-1 Wrote:

His treatment of 3985 is beyond unacceptable. Date: 02/27/20 12:22 Re: UP 4014 Author: UPChallenger3985 up3985 Wrote:

Date: 02/27/20 12:29 Re: UP 4014 Author: JMT-844-97 So if the steam program is given only one month for operations, guess that means no 844?
