Union Pacific 844 Through Echo Canyon 2017

[@jorelldye4346]

It's so nice to see it under a little load going up that grade.

[@nightlightabcd]

In her working days, hardly anyone paid much attention to her, but she survived due to the efforts of preservationist who saw greatness in her, she was reborn and now she's a star where ever she goes!

[@fordmustang500kr]

That whistle is music to my ears, classics will never die!

[@kyletroknya2419]

What type of whistle is it? 🚂

[@dorothymerrell6091]

That whistle is heaven to my ears. There’s nothing sweeter than the sound of a steam train whistle. I had the pleasure of seeing the 844 in person back in October of 2016 in Kirkwood Missouri.

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

​@@kyletroknya2419Was his original Hancock 3 Chime whistle

[@guy7325]

What i like about steam trains is their coupling rods

[@Full_Otto_Bismarck]

Couldnt help myself any longer, finally ordered an N scale model of this beauty from Kato.

[@2666loco]

Beautiful sharp pacing video. No evidence of car shaking camera. Great video, thanks so much

[@kyletroknya2419]

The camera work is amazing 🤩 🎥

[@stevenspaziani9159]

Beautiful or what. Times like this make me proud to be a railroader. Great filming too, Nick. T Y.

[@mk83fkk]

The best steam train movie ever! You may feel to cry when you see it!

[@OldelPaso68]

That was some of the nicest pacing video of the 844 FEF that I've seen. Stable platform and clear imaging, especially of the exhaust from the stack as it's cruising the main line. It's heart-warming to see so many railfans enjoying the show along the route, too. Way to go, Nick Valdez! Keep up the great work.

[@tristenrogers531]

That is the most cars i have ever seen the 844 pull unassisted!! That is incredible!!!

[@T-rick]

Incredible pacing shots. Well done.

[@jeffdetwiler]

One of the absolute BEST videos yet of the 844 in the mountains!!! Thank you for this!

[@michaelglass4701]

Union Pacific 844, she is BEAUTIFUL.

[@Moltar_Railfan]

MICHAEL GLASS agreed

[@bobyharyadi990]

Yes... She is big boy girlfroend...LOL

She is gleaming gem 💎 🖤🤍🖤🤍💛❤️💛❤️🚂

[@achmadsyifapapahnyareyhan8674]

I'm dreaming if 844 triple headed with 3985 and 4014...😍😍😍

[@kyletroknya2419]

That’ll happen someday 🚂🚂🚂💛❤️💛🚂

[@Patrick_3751]

@@kyletroknya2419 Sorry, but the UP steam crew retired 3985, so it looks like there won't be a triple header.

[@sydneymartin6941]

Hi the whistles on our engines sounded better

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

​@@Patrick_3751Yes they will, because UP #3985 is been restored!

[@calesmith3673]

A sight those kids will remember for the rest of their lives..

[@neilybobmojo_railfanning]

The scene from 8:15 on is some kind of perfection. Beautiful backdrop.

[@nightlightabcd]

Indeed!

[@garyacker7388]

Really neat canyon eh. I watched a 4000 as a pusher up that canyon when I was a little boy. I'm 76 right now.

[@wildcoyote34]

2 thumbs up ,, wish i had more because i love seeing this old iron in action ,i wasn't old enough to see the big boys in action i can't wait to see Big Boy 4014 in action ,, and the best day ever will be seeing , 844 ,,3985 and 4014 head to head ,,,and an ultimate plus would be to see Centennial 6936 together with them I was as a very young man able to see the centennials in action ,,I do remember seeing 6936 along with another 6900 series at the head of a coal train outside of omaha nebraska ,,i was just 7 years old , it was 1981 ,,i have several 8mm movies my grandfather made of them

[@jked7463]

Absolutely beautiful engine. Great proportions and elegant.

[@staceyfanny]

Great camera/video work really 1st class.

[@ВикторОстроух]

Отличное видео!

[@gaylenemorley916]

Please bring back 844 to ogden utah 4014 came threw weber canyon to go south i hope 844 returns to here i love 844 with its ghostly whistle indeed 844 where are you

[@goodkarmechanic]

Excellent chase footage right along the tracks! Well Done!!

[@marcosdecezare3412]

Congratulations EUA, you are the most powerfull people in the world ! I'm fan of you !!!

[@MrBobcone]

Interesting seeing the number of drones in the air recording this action....I like it!!!!

[@russliberti3360]

She seems so proud as she rolls on Just doing her job🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@hawkeyeten2450]

As she has for 78 years and counting. A testimony to the men who built 844 all those decades ago. They built stuff to last.

[@joseleoneldamasceno2075]

I feel like I'm at home seeing the 844 up very enthralling!

[@tedcartwright3183]

Most excellent !!

[@robmoir7524]

I have lived all my life during the days of the diesel but I love the steam locomotive I find it quite interesting

[@guy7325]

Its satisfying

[@Alcochaser]

It is amazing how clean the exhaust burns now.

[@kawasakiz76]

Awesome video!!

fantastic!

[@brianhebert347]

Nice job!

[@manfredm44]

[@mrhyd388]

If my Dad and I ever seen something like this in Michigan just driving down I-75 I think he would have a heart attack! Then the sound of the whistle..... WOW

[@franciscoelizeudossantos3226]

Eu sou completamente apaixonado por trem 🚆 Viajei em 1979 mais fechos os olhos parecia que foi ontem, ok família parabéns

[@gaylenemorley916]

I use to live on echo dam saw trains going past the dam back in 1957 58

[@MrKnowwun]

great pacing shot, best I have ever seen, I can't imagine how you managed to get that organised to be in the right place in the line of cars trying to do that. In the UK we have probably the best mainline steam scene in the world, but very very few places to try pacing shots.

[@michaelbujaki2462]

I think it was just luck. You try often enough and eventually you hit your target.

[@mikebrady6904]

Does anyone know when the living legend will run again. It hasn’t run since 2019.

[@АлександрКисель-х8ц]

Он страшен, но в тоже время и любим.Он живой!

[@LionelTrains50]

I have a hair pin railroad spike that was holding the rails down in Utah and Union Pacific bought it to commemorate the golden spike it’s made of stainless spring steel

[@gaylenemorley916]

Oh yes june 4th 2019 844 is still rolling and blowing its whistle fantastic i saw you last month 844 at union pacific train event in ogden ut. 844 wheni do not. See ya live its on video look at her go

[@edwinsinclair9853]

Great video here!

[@GKHaller]

Nice video. Well shot! It looks to me like the silver detailing on the rods and drivers could use a refresh!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

It's actualy just a bit of cleaning after this trip to get it shiny again, as it is grease and oil stain that starts to splatter all over the wheels and rods after just a couple of hours work. those are roller bearings but not sealed bearings like the modern variant, that's why you see the crew regreasing the bearings at the end of the video. The loco looks like new from the factory now, and probably better than that even, splendid job from the Cheyenne staff!

[@trevortaylor2778]

This is fantastic and n,w class j is even better.

[@Cohunnamatta]

Steam only. Very impressive.

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Great pacing. I can't help but wonder what she would look like with out her smoke deflectors, I mean, the all ready took off her mars light...

[@stevew270]

There's a pic out there of when UP first took delivery of 844 in 44, it's that or ALCO workers when it was completed, I can't remember which.

[@cellogirl11rw55]

The problem was that the smoke was blinding the engineer without them.

[@aaron-prime117]

You know I find it weird and kind of disappointing that the excursion coaches were cut down a little bit, especially since 4014 returned.

[@jonnybeck6723]

Really wonderful camera work there. I'm enjoying your channel. So nice NOT to see a diesel helper. A tip of the engineers cap to your driver also. Must be quite the acquired skill pacing 844 like that. thanx and cheers

Has the Union Pacific 844 been converted to run on oil?

[@DASCO2136]

Why did they get rid of the Mars light on the 844? She looks different without it

[@retiredatlast1976]

What happened to the diesel engine from a previous run that was said to be required now on all steam trains for "dynamic breaking?" How fast was this one running at top end? It's beautiful country, does Amtrak run a train on this line?

[@NEAFarmKid4010]

Basically, the Union Pacific can choose when and where to provide a diesel for any particular run. I personally prefer it if it's a Heritage Diesel (i.e 1943, 1982, 1983, 1988, 1989, 1995, 1996, 6936, or the E-Units), but all the same, if they are going down some long hills, it is better to have the diesel for dynamic braking as it saves some wear on the brake shoes for the cars.

[@UP4014SteamTrainFan]

+nick Valdez will you chase Cheyenne frontier days 2017?

[@gaylenemorley916]

Go 844 go your going to come to union. Station may 8th 2019 i got my tabs on ya this time because i help at union station ogden ut

[@thapoint09]

How fast was the locomotive going?

[@jimmywalker1568]

Looks small looking down at it from the road

[@charlese.adamssr8267]

why does NS not have a up-to-date steam engine like Union Pacific's.?

[@Texassince1836]

Charles E. Adams Sr hopefully all the class1 railroads bring back steam to an extent. Be nice to see the 3985 running freight

[@karlrovey]

Didn't they have too many issues with derailments and mechanical problems?

[@chuchogamer1218]

Where is that

[@dakotafurrow5026]

Where's the mars light?

[@westtexasrailfan]

Dakota Furrow that's what I'm saying! Looks like they took it off, I don't know if it's perminit or Not, but it's looks better without in my opinion.

[@dakotafurrow5026]

Tyson'sTrains In my opinion I grew up with having the mars light

[@dakotafurrow5026]

And it looks better that way

[@basedjorts]

I've heard the bracket and light were very rusted and basically destroyed, so they took it off. I don't know if they plan on replacing it in the future.
