Hi all!, Just curious if anyone knows what time the 844 will leave Cheyenne on July 19th when it heads south to Denver. The UP steam website just says its the annual Legislative trip but does not give any departure time. Thanks in advance if anyone knows! JB
As far as I know UP will be running the UP Steam again this year but I will see if I can find out any more details about this year. :lightbulb: :lightbulb: :lightbulb: :lightbulb:

Yes, this is as much as I've been able to find out as well. Since it looks to be an official trip rather than a deadhead move, there has to be an official departure time. Thursday is a great day to chase since most people have to work that day.
The CFD train is a great chase--I chased it when I lived in Cheyenne. Sharp eyes will note 7 domes, the Centennial, UP 6936, and 844 leading the whole parade: Carr, CO:
