Union Pacific 844 A Smoking 72 mph Highball to Laramie

UP#844 put on an incredible show on the afternoon of Sept 23, 2010 as she needs to return to Cheyenne by 5 pm. The stoking of the boiler creates “The Black Horizontal Tornado“ At 3:00 she pops her 300 psi safety valve just east of Bosler, WY. Then we just try to keep UP at 72mph into Laramie. Thunderous departure from Laramie at 8:38 which is sadly now being blocked by a fence. After 4 decades of chasing UP steam. this afternoon will always be in my top 10 favorite runs.
