On the rails running folks to Chyenne Wyoming's "Frontier Days" an opperating 844 makes a run every summer, Challenger (the largest opperating engine) tags along.
Gives me the goosebumps and makes me choke up to see them - ererie feeling of tremendous thundering power - they are beautiful.

For over 60 years our family received the large Union Pacific Calendar at this time of year. Tightly rolled in a tube - they were more exciting than a new comic book to open - and lasted longer.
