I'm not sure about 'back in the day', Will -

But IIRC on an 844 fan trip in November, 1960, the rods were shot at Rawlins, Wyoming before returning to Cheyenne (~130 miles).

In May, 1981, her rods were shot upon arrival in Sparks, Nevada after running from Sacramento, California (also ~130 miles):


In early October, 1981, IIRC they were shot in Sterling, Colorado before returning to Denver (~150 miles).
