Delayed by three grain trains and a manifest train, the U.P. 844 is running almost two hours behind schedule as it rumbles across the Red River which divides Oklahoma from Texas near the North Texas town of Dennison. The beautiful weather on Friday, April 09, 2010 added to the enjoyment trackside for those following the Valley Flyer steam special.
