[PPCC] Union Pacific Steam Locomotive Visit to Colo Spgs

[WAYNE RUSSERT]

Hello
The UP steam loco No. 844, based in Cheyenne, is embarking on a month long PR 
tour which will bring it into COS around 1230 on Sunday Oct 30 and won't be 
leaving until 0800 on Tue Nov 1.  (arriving in Pueblo at 1100 where it will 
again overnite)
On it's way south towards COS it will make a whistle stop in Palmer Lake from 
1100 to 1115 on Sun.
While in COS it will be at 112 Pikes Peak Av (in the yards behind Guiseppes?)
The official public display time is 9 to 5 on Mon Oct 31.
You can see the full schedule at www.up.com.
I would not recommend chasing it between Palmer Lake and COS, however, as the 
highway will be clogged with "foamers" driving like idiots while holding their 
cameras out the window.
Bonni and I worked many excursions behind this loco in the 70's and 80's and 
it's well worth seeing.
Thanks
Wayne Russert
