UP 4014 at Greeley
Author: masterphots

By the time 4014 reached our photo spot at Ault, CO,  midday high sun was right down the tracks.  Took a very so-so shot as it passed and then joined the mob at the Greeley stop around 1:00 pm  
My son and I had a great time meeting people and just the pure fun of seeing 4014 in action.    A few miles of pacing the engine at 40 mph south of Greeley was an awsome experience.  A couple of photos below.

Cool shots! Are the smoke lifters, or "elephant ears", gonna be a temporary addition or indefinite?

I quite like the look of 4014 with the "wind wings" as i'm told to call them. I get that some folks are purists and I respect that, but it would be nice to see these stay on at least through the next national tour.

Are the smoke lifters on 844 original, or were they also added later?

Added later, after conversion from coal burning to oil burning.
