The power of the 844 is amazing when you consider how much weight it must pull! BTW you can follow the Union Pacific Steam on Twitter! @UP_Steam or visit the 844 Up Steam Website.
Cheyenne Frontier Days Train
Each year the 844 takes passengers from Union Station in Denver north on an excursion to Cheyenne Frontier Days. This popular ride sells out long before the event, so I always manage to NOT have the opportunity to ride the train.
Instead, one year I chased it! Oh what a ride that was! It wasn’t my intent to go very far, but it was so much fun I found myself in Cheyenne! This year I’ll make my calendar of July 23, 2011 with some luck I’ll be chasing this iron horse again! Wanna come?
