Mook,

If you go to the UP steam site, and click on the "Updated 2005 Schedule" link, it'll take you there.

Allan.
I hope you don't mind all of those UP fans enjoying their steam locomotive.
Maybe one day your railroad will bring an engine to town so you could have something to look at as well.[;)]

I was at the shop one week ago. The 844 was out for it's new debut. The next run will be to Denver about the last week in July for the Denver Post train ride to Frontier Days. A run to Denver was made a couple weeks ago as a test. They changed some piping in the boiler to avoid "foaming"

I'm going to have to try and see this one. Never have seen the 844 in person and would like to get the chance.
