This morning my brothers and my dad were able to stop by the Union Pacific steam facility to watch the UP 844 leave town for the "Home Platte Special" heading east for North Platte then the next day on to Omaha where the locomotive will be on display. I was surprised to see it all ready to go this morning because on Friday June 7 the front of the locomotive was still off! It was a fun morning. Hope you enjoy the pictures and the videos.
