 Union Pacific 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive #844, continues to operate on her original railroad in Mainline Service. ALCO | 1944. | Union Pacific 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive #844 will be returning to the Union Pacific Mainline for a series of excursions in 2017. In April, #844 will lead the "Boise Turn Special" on an 11-day Roundtrip from the UP Steam Shops in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Boise Idaho and return. With Public Displays scheduled in Pocatello, Idaho; Boise, Idaho; and Ogden, Utah. In June, #844 returns to Omaha, Nebraska for the College Baseball National Championship. On July 22, #844 pulls the annual "Cheyenne Frontier Days Special" from Denver Colorado, to Cheyenne Wyoming and Return. This annual excursion always sells out extremely fast, (within minutes of going on sale). We will keep our "Mainline Steam" Page updated with the current schedules, and of course for more information on any of these trips check out the official source-www.up.com/aboutup/special_trains/steam/index.shtml |

I am from a RR family. My grandfather was a round house foreman for the AC&Y railroad in Akron, OH. Steam locomotives are in my blood. With that being said is that a date when 844 will be in Omaha? I live in Indiana and would make the trip to see such a great engine.
