@HaloCE14 Thanks man, but only the serious foamers or the mentaly insane headed east out of Cheyenne, as I-80 was a sheet of ice to Burns, WY

[SkipW]

@HorsegirlJenny Thats for sure & in some places i doubt if he could see anything, as the steam plume was so thick

[ad]

she's probably capable of even faster but aren't you guys given a speed limit you have to obey?

[SkipW]

@StarmanPhantom probably just a little freezing up and getting a little clogged

[SkipW]

@num1ksfan probably just shy of 70mph (max)

Waiting for her here in Houston - will follow to Bloomington and Bay City. Your videos are just absolutely great!

Bet you'd enjoy my musical tribute to the tour, set to the Deseret String Band's "Railroadin' on the Great Divide". Don't have a clue how to link here on YT but the title's UP 844 Valley Eagle Heritage Tour with the Deseret String Band.

Again, thanks for your great work!

How fast here? Was the freight moving? He ate up about 102 cars in :42 seconds.

@SkipW And I bet there were plenty that followed it out that way right?

[Biker_Gremling]

The snow becoming steam with the heat or the locomotive is awesome.

I'm continually impressed with your vids. How are you keeping the camera so stable? I'm usually rattled around like crazy, trying not too successfully to be a human shock absorber.

I saw just a glimpse of the train, ( where the smoke/steam cleared), and there was no diesel unit. That is unusual! ???

[Jamersonde]
