So since the first part of UP's steam season has been posted, I've been checking it to see when they add new trips. And checking. And checking. So far the only trips are the Frontier Days and the Home Plate. I'm assuming the North Platte Railfest will appear later.
I realize the 844 won't be doing nearly as much as last year, but won't UP schedule more trips? Or are they going to baby the 844 this year?

Looks like North Platte Nebraska June 9-10
A good looking schedule. O.K. How come the west coast is the orphan kid on the block? The former SP and the former WP routes are good for railfan trips.

That and the southern and eastern parts of UP's system.
