The Press In On the Monday, April 28, 2014 Move
For those interested, a Southern California newspaper had a staff reporter stationed in Cajon Pass, and he wrote up an article (and photographed) about the steamer’s movement.

Interesting reading …
K.P. was somewhere near the Mormon Rock on the photo’s left …
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.P.’s absolute “theorem” from early, early childhood that he has seen over and over and over again: Those that CAUSE a problem in the first place will act the most violently if questioned or exposed.
This is a story [ To be able to see a "Big Boy" Class Steam locomotive run again...Then to be track-side when it goes past At Track Speed.] . And an experience that many Rail Fans had long fantasized about seeing, and sensing.
I have been fortunate enough able to see both the 844 and 3985 run here in Kansas. And, witness parts of 3985's epic trip, on the CSX ( in November 1992) Stopped at Memphis for repairs, at The old Lenox Station, nee: NC&StL) running track speed, North at Bartlett,Tn.,(nee: L&N,) towards Bruceton, Tn., and her make-over as Clinchfield RR # 676)
Hopefully, in 5 or 6 years we'll see the 4014 running here in Kansas!
