Union Pacific 844 as seen along the Lincoln Highway Centennial Weekend Celebration June 29th the old cars were eastbound and the Iron Horse was westbound.This is from Potter to Dix
I've run out of new videos to watch but reruns are just as fun. Union Pacific 844 and 3985 are a true joy to behold. Can't wait to see 4014 is back online.

You have my vote for video of the year. It is masterfully crafted with a fantastic combination of sight and sound. The visuals are stunning especially during the high speed run. It also has the additional value of replicating a bygone era as your camera tracks the locomotive through the small towns. A superior video any way you look at it!

I enjoy watching and seeing the 844. I love that whistle. It runs so smooth. I try to see it as often as I can.

It brought tears to my eyes. The sound of those old locomotives is what I grew up with and even miss now. At the time, those smokey, noisy things were a nuisance. Now as rare as they are, I can't get enough of them. Dad was a UP employee, so that has a lot to do with it. UP, please keep up your efforts to bring back Challenger and Big Boy - don't let us old timers down. And, thanks for keeping 844 going.

I saw this monster as it went through San Antonio and Austin TX but I forgot just how HUGE it is. The driving wheels tower above the men lubricating them---WOW! And to think this marvel of mechanical engineering was accomplished WITHOUT the aid of computers or robot assembly; just human brain and muscle. Truly a thing of beauty.

Just noticed they have taken the Red Emergency headlight off the front end of UP 844.. Did they take it off before the UP-150 celebration last year, as I didn't see that many videos of the front end..?

this train could do 100MPH easily but i think they wont allow it anymore for some reason? i think the tracks can still handle it though.

FRA rules these days restrict most trains to a maximum speed of 79 mph. There are numerous sub-rules that I won't go into. I have heard credible reports of 844 reaching over 110 mph "back in the day", before the new rules were implemented.
