Great too see a new video, too bad we couldn't see her being moved to this point.

YES! Finally another video! Glad to see they finally installed the transition track. Looks like things are going really smoothly and hope it continues without delay. Please keep the videos coming hot off the press. Those of us who are too far away to visit this museum on a regular basis want to see what's going on frequently. Thanks for uploading UP

Wonderful video! I've been looking forward to another update. Hopefully the next will show 4014 being moved to the Metrolink main and on to its new life.

Now I understand how your gona move the 4014

Good job, guys!   Corporate should consider auctioning off cab rides on the train that moves 4014 Cheyenne, if the rules permit.  The money could go to United Way or some other charity and it would generate a huge amount of positive press.

Is the 4014 staying in union pacific hq for ever ?

[bmcewen]

have they moved it to its current location from where it sat when it was on display?   it was sitting on a rail that was flush with the asphalt, now its actually on the temp track.

I live on the east coast, so I've never had an opportunity to see UP Heritage Steam Operations. Regardless, I am pleased to see that you understand the value of having such a program, not only for PR, but heck, it's COOL! Best of luck with restoring this classic from the Steam Age, and maybe one day I'll just have to plan a trip out west to see this loco in action.
