Thanks for watching my videos this year as a New Years Celebration this year end i submit this overlooked sequence from the fantastic last year of UP150 Express events from sea to shining sea. So open UP your libation of choice and enjoy as this one is NOT a cure for a hangover. As Ed Dickens makes the Big Boy whistle really sing. The Living Legend UP # 844 departs in pouring rain after service. The Union Pacific Railroad schedules regular visits of their steam engines in Lodgepole. www.lodgepolene...
Tucked in the southern Nebraska panhandle, Lodgepole is a friendly town of 318 persons with a strong sense of community. Founded in 1867, Lodgepole's history is tied to the development of the Union Pacific Railroad and early western pioneers.
Lodgepole is located, on U.S. Hwy 30/385, 19 miles east of Sidney, and just three miles north of I-80 at exit 76. It is one of five towns in Cheyenne County. Lodgepole is 190 miles northeast of Denver, CO on I-80 & I-76; 121 miles southwest of Cheyenne, WY on I-80, 328 miles west of Lincoln, NE and 379 miles west of Omaha, NE.
Lodgepole's population according to the 2010 Census is 318. Latitude 410902 / Longitude 1023826; Ground Elevation 1167.0 Lodgepole was founded in 1867, platted in 1884 and incorporated as an official town in 1901. The town was named Lodge Pole by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867. In 1895 the postal department changed the name to the one word spelling of Lodgepole. The community's name is derived from the creek bearing the same name, stemming from when the Indians cut poles for teepees along it banks. It is the second oldest community in Cheyenne County. Interesting Facts Lodgepole is home to the 1987 Ford Bronco used to mark the Pony Express route from the east coast to the west coast. The Bronco was donated to the Lodgepole Depot Museum in 2010. Lodgepole is on the Oregon Trail, the Pony Express Route, the first transcontinental railroad (Union Pacific) and the first transcontinental highway; the Lincoln Highway aka US Hwy 30.

It's nice hearing this whistle back on 4014.
I've seen that one in town before on its tour. Absolutely massive and astonishing
Bad news: stock whistle’s back on
That whistle/horn must be the ultimate toy! Well in fact the whole train.
Up 844 blows it's currently whistle used for behing in UP 150th anniversary special
I sent this video to Greenpeace
Skip, you gave me more reason to keep writing train songs about Ed and the 844...here comes one now, and "IT'S ALRIGHT!" Fabulous chase and camera work right from the get go when Ed said "844 ready to go!...over."
Built with no technology, a ruler a brain and a pencil absolutely incredible.
that gives me chills hearing i have always loved the 4000 class big boys and that is impressive with a steam fanatic
that is, that is not a big boy

Up 844 high speeds fast
Up 844 22nd march 2012
I did my steam era 1945 to 1953, then it became diesel era. These ole steamers don't have the traction for the power they really have. Great looking ALCo :-)
0:11 Union Pacific 844: (over radio) Union Pacific 844 calling musician, please announce that I’m ready to go by giving me a G major chord. I repeat I need a G major cord please, over.
0:36 Union Pacific 844: (over radio) Union Pacific 844 calling musician, please serenade my departure from Lodgepole with your rendition of This Little Light of Mine. 844 out.
Great to watch again Skip when is your next upload, All the best Barry
Which locomotive do you think is more awesome ? The Union Pacific Big Boy, the 3985 Challenger, 844, Southern Pacific 4449, or the Santa Fe 3751 ?
This short period is when 844 looked its best. Still had the mars light and they had just added the white walls and stripes
In one word. Fantastic. I am sorry that in Portugal with so many steam locomotives and that they are no longer used especially with tourists and children so that they could see what it was like in the old days.
Lower emmissions than a bunch of hippies at a save the planet gathering. A lot less damage to the forests also.
How exactly are you picking up the radio transmissions?
great video, hardly a highball though. He never breaks 55
Ed Dickens as I recall
awesome shot! makes me wonder if the throttle was wide open?
Good video, never get tired of watching UP Steam..!
Wondering how many miles UP put on the 844 during the year, what with trips over all the major routes in western U.S.A. & from north to south...???
they should put the elephant ears back on the challenger
Raymond Leggs nooo
Raymond Leggs 3977 still has em.
Agree
what is his top speed?
100 but the track limit is usually just 79 mph
UP started to release their 2013 schedule. so far, CWS, and DP CFS.
I love it's whistle
I love trains
The gruntiest whistle ever,,,,great vid....
Tres belles locomotive superbe$.
And the North Platte Railfest folks must be disappointed about that line UP of events.
Mabey 2014 or so, we will try to find out more at Cheyenne Depot Days May 19 & 20
All I want for Christmas & my fingers are crossed too.
somewhere i heard close to 14,000 miles in 2012
Great video - a Lodgepole legacy!
Love the old steam engines.
@Skip, does anyone know when 3985 is projected to be back in service?
This comment aged well 😅
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO
844 is cool but 3985 is twice the fun
The old Uniden BC72XLT scanner
Is the 844 a freight loco or express loco? How fast can she get? German express locos can do up to 80 mph. Freighters absolut 50 mph.
the ALCo FEF series like No. 844 is a express passenger type locomotive (this is obvious by its large diameter driving wheel), the FEF series could go to 100 mph
@@voidjavelin23 100mph? Wow! Is the 844 bigger than a German 01 series? The 01 Series where a marble in their time. Today, they are still impressive. Some are still active.
Okay, u won. The UP844 is a lot bigger then the German 01-5. if where able to, I would buy a 01-5 and bring it in the USA back to life. Are some billionaires among us who want to see a German steamie on US Tracks?😉
@@beekey30 of course its bigger than a average DRG class 01 because midwest part of US has more free loading gauge
Listen to the rumble. Listen to the roar.
do trains use normal cb radios? if so what channel?
1:06
LOL I said "Ohhh shut up!!" at 6:11
Who is the Hog head on 844 today?
Nice! is 844 your favorite?
Great chase, but who left that freight train there ???
Ted Cartwright make that two freighters
Was that in new jersey
Melissa Jordan Half way between Cheyenne and North Platte, just off Rt 80
What is the purpose of the diesel? Power generation?
Being a douche and ruining a steam locomotive’s glorious moment
no dumbass ^
The diesel is used for electricity generation to other pulling carts and ensure emergency braking is needed.
@@sablesaber5930 no they dont supply any electricity to the cars because its a freight type locomotive
