After 2 weeks of being on display alongside TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha during the World Series, and after 2 weeks of rest on our end, NVRRP packed up the cameras and headed East one more time to North Platte, to chase the return leg of the 2013 Home Plate Express. In this video, we catch an eastbound getting a green signal outside town, highballing the triple track, just as our steam train approaches in the distance. Then we quickly head over to the bridge jjust east of town to document the train's arrival, even as the 844 sports a new fashion-the missing MARS Light! Then once into town, the train is backed onto the 2 Executive lead tracks, where the DDA40X, #6936, is cut from the train. UP Steam Manager Ed Dickens did this to have the centenial looked over be the NP deisel shop, just to make sure that the unit was ready for the program's next excursion at Cheyenne Frontier Days. After that, the train is put back together, and rolled back towards the fuel truck where the locomotive will be serviced, and the train wll be put away for the night. Tomorrow: Cheyenne! Rate.
