Last moving steam-engine in the United States, I'm told. Came through the other day, took a few shots.

Great series. It's funny you posted these because I was on the UP website yesterday looking at the schedule to see if it was coming back to Houston anytime in the near future.
3985 should be coming out of referb soon.

I love the steam engines too. 844 is not the last one running, there are at least two that runs thru California, this one, #3751 makes a LA to San Diego once a year.
