Welcome back to another railfan trip! Featuring UP 844, UP 6936, and the 2013 Cheyenne Frontier Days Special. In this video, we see the train the day before during the layover in Denver's 36th street Yard right off of 44th Ave. and Brighton Blvd. Then we fast forward to the following day where we see the morning activities under way, with passengers taking a quick look at what would be pulling their train that day, as well as the crew wandering about, making final checks and preparing the locomotive for the road. Then UP Steam Manager Ed Dickens climbs aboard, and gives several blasts of the whistle to give the 5 minute warning, as well as whistle the flag in. Then at 7 AM sharp, the train highballs the yard and starts toward the York Street Crossing. There, we see the rear end of the train passing through and coming onto the ain line. Then we catch the train one last time as we roll onto Highway 85 to clear out of Denver, and begin our chase towards the northbound run's service stop in Greeley.
