Re: NNG - U.P. #844 Fifty Years + Fifty Days Ago (pics)

Hi, Greg -

The trip had been announced by the RMRRC - and the U.P. - as the last run of #844 prior
to her retirement.  Thankfully, the railroad's decision was reversed soon after, and #844(4)
has been in more-or-less continuous service for the past fifty years!!

And of course you are welcome to use any of my shots on the covers of your excellent videos.   Your "Great Steam Trains Combo" arrived a couple of days ago - along with several others - and I watched part one that evening. The sequence of N&W #611 stalling at Peebles, Ohio, and then VERY slowly getting underway again is FANTASTIC - one of the best RR videos I've ever seen!
