UP's 844 Rolled By

[Fluesheet]

Sitting here in the hotel in downtown Wichita...tv running and the a/c going...and it seems to me that I hear a steam whistle. On a whim, I looked up Union Pacific's steam schedule and sure enough...UP's Challenger rolled right by the hotel here in Wichita and I missed it.

Ah, crap!

Sorry about that Mark! It's been too long since I've seen big steam - moving on it's own, that is - I think my last sighting would be in the early 90's when NS still had a big steam program. NKP 765 will be running Norfolk Southern rails this summer - probably more or less on or along it's home rails - I don't intend to miss that one.

Better luck next time!
