While traveling home from Omaha, the Union Pacific 844 pulls off of the UP Sidney Sub in a rare move, to be on display for the small town of Sidney, NE. In this video you'll see the train rolling West past the Point of Rocks, and then slowly drawing to a stop outside town. Here, the pilot crews and conductors step off to help guide the train onto the small side track alongside a large grain elevator, where a few hoppers must be connected to be shoved out of the way (an act not performed by a steam locomotive at this location since the mid 1950s.) Then the train is spotted just right for the souvineer car to be opened to the public for visiting, and for the locomotive to be serviced before the train must embark once again, traveling into Wyoming and to the day's last service stop that is in Pine Bluffs. And, after a good couple hours, a UP Steam Crew member blasts off on the whistle to signal to the town that the train must be on their way once again, and soon. Let's jump ahead to Pine Bluffs and bring more maximum trackside coverage of UP Steam. Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!! Copyright Nick Valdez Railroad Photography 2013.
