I had arrived in Denver on #6 the evening before and by the next morning, July 19th, I was off in search of UP's #844 on its deadhead move for the upcoming Denver Post Special to Cheyenne for Frontier Days. Just South of Platteville I heard a local job talking about the need clear up as that "big black pile of junk" was on the way.

Soon, approaching at what I estimate to be 70mph+, the train showed up. All that effort and in about 20 seconds it was over. Kinda reminds me of...never mind.
