I agree, I tried to go see 844 at Union Station last year for Frontier days, I took the Light Rail down to Union Station, there were about a dozen other railfans with camera's in hand. we went down to take pictures, and very swiftly got kicked out. It sucked because friday was my only chance to see her, I had, at the time, to work Saturday and Sunday mornings at Lakeside
I got some nice pictures of the DD40X, and a few shots of 844. But I got better pictures of 844 when I went to the steam shop in Cheyenne, and I was stuck in a building with bad lighting
I wish RTD would lay off and let us railfans get our big steam fix for the month. Not sure why they even consider it a big deal....
