steam trains: UP844 Steam Train Video -- November 2012

Great video of UP844 zooming through its trip to Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. My friend Ed was the engineer on this trip. The turn out in all the small towns was amazing, with the turnout in Amarillo being so big we had a hard time finding a parking space. I was told UP844 had never travelled this way.

Here is a head on shot of the train as it is coming around a corner. Notice the Colorado flag on the front? They changed the flag everytime they went into … (1 comments)
This steam train is huge. When you stand next to it, you feel minuscule. The black panels on the sides are a little different than I'm used to seeing on trains in the United States. My source says the panels are smoke deflectors.
Here the train is roaring out of Navasota. The amount of steam is impressive. I really like this shot.
I think this is a different angle from the last shot, but this one captures more of the vertical steam and smoke. I … (7 comments)
