...rolled past here today as the U.P. #844 made it's way through Donner Pass enroute to all points central California! Although overhauled numerous times, this locomotive has never been retired from service. It was complete with 1940's vintage passenger train and heritage railroad painted diesels used for dynamic braking. Stops include Roseville, Sacramento, Oakland, and Oroville before returning east through the Feather River Canyon in early May. A real testament to the mechanical genius of our greatest generation!
