Mo-Pac Retiree
Title:  Mo-Pac Retiree
Description:  I found out later that this old timer put in 45 years in engine Service with the MP/UP as a fireman then an engineer. He retired 21 years ago in 1986. He is in his late 80's and was glad to be aboard 844 today behind the fireman. I later found out that his name was Howard Dawson. One nice fellow indeed. Thanks to the Union Pacific Yahoo! Group member who told me his name.

Description:  The Oklahoma Centennial Sooner Rocket operating as UP Train SWTEN 09 crests a small grade on the way from Wichita, KS to Enid, OK with a 14 car passenger consist in tow at about 30 mph. I don't think I could have asked for a better morning for big steam. This was the longest UP Passenger Train I'd ever seen, with 3 domes! Can't beat that!

UPP 814-Auxiliary Water Tender "Joe Jordan"
Title:  UPP 814-Auxiliary Water Tender "Joe Jordan"
Description:  UP has rebuilt their water tenders from their "Big Blow" look since the last time I saw one. They are now back down to the bare steam tenders they started with, and blend into the train much better. Compare this with a view of UPP 809 from last year: http://uptrain.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=386354 . 809 is currently getting the same treatment.

Onlookers and 844
Title:  Onlookers and 844
Description:  844 sits surrounded by people at Wellington. The gentleman at the far left in the light blue shirt and shorts with a cap was a Korean War Veteran that I had the pleasure to meet. He had ridden a troop train at the start of his trip to Korea. My grandpa was involved in the conflict, and also rode a troop train, but got lucky and ended up in Germany, then England building runways for bombers.

One Last Look
Title:  One Last Look
Description:  We went down south of Wellington after the train departed for one last roll-by at Perth. This is where I spoke with the ex-ATSF engineman. He and his wife had forgotten about the train and heard it leave town, but they got here about 5 minutes before it rounded the curve.
