I wonder if people will "flock" to see one of these in 60 years, like they did to see UP 844.
Having only seen UP 844 from the air before this, I have to say that seeing this locomotive up close was still very impressive!
Loaded rock train waiting to go south.
The sun was in and out all morning. I was lucky to catch the entire train in sunlight.
The sky was completely overcast just a few miles west of Overton. The clouds started burning off, the closer we got. This train sure looked pretty when it started moving north towards Longview.
