Yes that’s the one. I was looking at it during the 8 hour drive back from Athens wishing it was still a railroad....:thumbdown:
I kept thinking the boys running freight on those tracks back a few decades must have known their time was getting short when they saw the highways getting improved (trucks).

Why OU? All 3 of my sisters and a nephew graduated from OU, but they live there.

Only a few miles of the trail along the road.

engine repairs?

I few posts back I showed some retired engines on display at the Quincy Mine Here again is the repair work I had noted on them. It seems these steam power units were a nightmare to keep in operation and be safe.

Union Pacific announcement:

In a special video message to Union Pacific Steam Club members, Sr. Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Scott Moore announced that the planned 2020 steam excursion has been cancelled. Moore pointed to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and necessary social distancing measures as the country continues to recover from the pandemic.

"But I'm here to tell you, we're committed to 2021," Moore said. "We saw last year how much America loves the Big Boy, and what it can do as the giant, rolling ambassador of the Union Pacific Railroad."

View the entire video message as well as a special message from UP Steam Team's Ed Dickens about the status of No. 4014. 2;) Union Pacific Steam Activities Cancelled - YouTube

That's all for now. Be safe, and we'll see you trackside,

Union Pacific Steam Club
