Just a friendly reminder that when the
UP 4014 moves to West Colton, and then
to Cheyenne, he will NOT be under steam.
That momentous event will not occur for
a number of years.

BEAUTIFUL prose describing your reaction
to seeing the SP 4449 under steam for the
first time as an adult. I had the same
reaction to seeing her for the first time
in Daylight paint -- in Eugene, OR, in 1981.
Tears of joy streamed down my face. I will
never forget that day as long as I live.
A HUGE "THANK you!" goes out to Ross Rowland
and the entire American Freedom Train crew,
and to Doyle McCormack and his crew for restoring
and operating the most beautiful locomotive in the
world.
And a BIG "THANK you!" goes out to the Union Pacific
for having and keeping their Steam Program, and for
running the 844/4, 3985, and, eventually, the 4014.
