Union Pacific 844 - Houston Arrival on 10/26/2012

UP 844 led the UP150 Anniversary Special Train into Houston, Texas on a windy, and mostly cloudy, October 26, 2012. This video begins at New Caney, about 25 miles northeast of Houston, with a 60mph run-by of the 844. It continues with a meet between the UP special and Amtrak train #2 at the Tower 26 interlocking in Houston. There are several segments with the 844 passing right next to the camera. After remarks by Houston Mayor Annise Parker, a final segment shows the 844 dragging out of the Houston depot in order to spot the train and locomotive for servicing.

That year i forgot about it being there that day. But if i was there, here's my exciting scenario.
'Spots the 844's headlight under the bridge'
'Excitedly shouts out' 'SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!'
'As the 844 rolls into the station i say'
"Welcome Back To Houston,Texas, Ms.844!"
That's what I would say and do if I remembered about it.

I saw 844 in Fort Worth just a little before these vids.
