A few months ago Union Pacific held a contest where fans voted on where to route the Steam Locomotives. 4 routes were in the finals and the "Little Rock Express" won by only a few votes. Almost time for #844 to strut her stuff.

Showing off, jeebus, she was hauling butt! I don't know how the camera vehicle kept up! That's some amazing steam power! Fantastic! !*brav*!

What's kinda neat is watching the front of the locomotive and watching it absorb all the bumps and sways in the track at that speed. You can see it good 1:17
