VERY nice video, James! Thanks so much
for posting it here. The UP 844 is one
of my favorite locomotives, and I LOVE
to see her in action. Your videos are
ALWAYS tops! :)

As for smoke: I think it is now frowned on
by the UP. As you may know, a properly-fired
locomotive does not make more than a slight
brownish haze tabove the stack. Anything
more soots up the flues and makes her a
poor steamer and throws unburned fuel
everywhere, and thus wastes money. I
know many railfans like the look of all
that smoke, but it was done in the old
days, when movies film was quite expensive,
to show motion.
