We also have night scenes in Nunn, Colorado where the trial run would end. These scenes include arrival, inspection of the engine, passing freights, and servicing with grease guns and so forth.

The trip took several days in 2019, as several stops were included for servicing the engine, and for viewing the engine at some locations. The first day ran from Cheyenne to Rawlins. On May 5th they ran from Rawlins to Rock Springs, and on May 6th from Rock Springs to Evanston. This day was particularly interesting as the train left well before dawn. Our video shows it arriving and departing Green River around 5:30 in the morning, and another camera picked it up arriving and departing Granger in great low light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eThere was an off day on May 7th, but on May 8th the train operated from Evanston, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah.

We see some of the rehearsal, and parts of the show including the Central Pacific Jupiter, and the Union Pacific number 119. These replica engines are seen as they point toward each other on a regular basis during the summer months, but this was a special 150th Anniversary. In our preliminary footage we even see the Jupiter moving into position.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eSo 4014 had made it to Utah in time for the 150th anniversary festivities. But, our coverage doesn't end there, quite yet. One of our cameramen stuck around, and even shot the first day of the return trip to Evanston on May 12th. This would be the very first excursion as a fundraiser trip was sold to the public and more coaches were added. This was significant because it would be the first time for 4014 climbing the Wasatch mountains, which is the area the Big Boys were built for back in the 1940's. We see some nice views of this train culminating in a great reflection scene arriving in Evanston.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eThis show has something for everyone, and will be a great momento of this historic event.

We also have night scenes in Nunn, Colorado where the trial run would end. These scenes include arrival, inspection of the engine, passing freights, and servicing with grease guns and so forth.

The trip took several days in 2019, as several stops were included for servicing the engine, and for viewing the engine at some locations. The first day ran from Cheyenne to Rawlins. On May 5th they ran from Rawlins to Rock Springs, and on May 6th from Rock Springs to Evanston. This day was particularly interesting as the train left well before dawn. Our video shows it arriving and departing Green River around 5:30 in the morning, and another camera picked it up arriving and departing Granger in great low light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eThere was an off day on May 7th, but on May 8th the train operated from Evanston, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah. This segment starts with snow flurries out of Evanston, and eventually improves. Scenes include Echo Canyon, Henefer, Near Morgan, Peterson, Uintah, Devil's Slide, and nearing Ogden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eOn May 9th one of our camera crew captured the special ceremony in Ogden. This was an all Union Pacific event hosted by CEO Lance Fritz, and included 844 and 4014 facing each other and a bit of this ceremony is included with an enthusiastic crowded participating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eOn May 10th, we have some coverage of the activities at Promontory, Utah where the original golden spike ceremony took place. We see some of the rehearsal, and parts of the show including the Central Pacific Jupiter, and the Union Pacific number 119. These replica engines are seen as they point toward each other on a regular basis during the summer months, but this was a special 150th Anniversary. In our preliminary footage we even see the Jupiter moving into position.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eSo 4014 had made it to Utah in time for the 150th anniversary festivities. But, our coverage doesn't end there, quite yet. One of our cameramen stuck around, and even shot the first day of the return trip to Evanston on May 12th. This would be the very first excursion as a fundraiser trip was sold to the public and more coaches were added. This was significant because it would be the first time for 4014 climbing the Wasatch mountains, which is the area the Big Boys were built for back in the 1940's. We see some nice views of this train culminating in a great reflection scene arriving in Evanston.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"-2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;\"\u003eThis show has something for everyone, and will be a great momento of this historic event.
