Joe,I would say the tracks were banked pretty good, I usually keep the camera as level as possible.

Great photos Seayakbill.  Did the tracks bank that much, or was that due to an odd camera angle?

 A few pictures of the UP Business train pulled by the 844 on the way to Cheyenne. I lucked out and had a dome seat.

Very nice, the UP 844 is one terrific looking steamer. I had the opportunity a few years ago to ride on the UP Business train pulled by the 844 from Denver to Cheyenne during a LCCA Convention in Denver.

Joe, the UP also had a paint scheme that was the same except that the lettering and striping were silver where this one is yellow.

Nice looking locomotive Bigdogjeff.  Thanks for posting the photo.  I did not know UP used that color scheme.
