I watched that episode when I was little I called it trains number 4.😊 1:14

How ironic seeing 844 assisting stalled diesels. If they thought 844 was handy to have at that particular moment, imagine their eyes if 4014 had showed up, LOL.

This is one of my favorite documentaries 844 from when she left the factory in 1944 all the way to the beginning of her excursion career. Most of the shots seen in this video where used on a couple shows back in the eighties and nineties and I can name all them off the top of my head in order that they were made ghost trains was the first one, following that was Shining Time Station, she appeared on When Giants Roamed twice and Trains Unlimited 17 times including the episode Age of Steam, and her most recent appearance was on Extreme Trains where she just returned to life after extensive rebuild. 844 the Queen of the Rails, the Star of the Train World, and yes the Living Legend herself 844 will always be my friend I am glad that steam shop is always taking care of her she is the face of the Union Pacific and the ambassador of good will. Soon her brothers will be awaked and the last surviving engines of their classes will take to the rails to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the railroad and the Golden Spike. 844 is back in service and soon Big Boy and 3985 will be back in service also I can't wait.

14:13 very interesting to see. It’s like the 844 is having surgery! I saw her once and hope to see her again!

The UP 844 has an impressive operation history and I really enjoy seeing the 844 in the "greyhound" style paint scheme, UP should repaint the 844 back into that scheme again.

I grew up near the New York Central', (big 4) Cleveland city by pass. When I was about 4 years old, my dad and I ran to see my very first train. Imagine seeing 3 NYC versions of this loco (Niagara's) at the head end of a freight, with 2 more mid train, and one more pushing at the rear. Needless to say, I've had the smell and sound and feel of steam locos ever since, I'm 73. I just love the sound of 844's deep throat whistle, sometimes I get a bit of a chill run through my body, just for the love of trains. ;-)

Now if we can arrange 611 and 844 to double head! I think it would be great to do a cross country excursion for veterans and to raise awareness for veteran suicide. 22 of us die each day. I think the railroads can help. Do something like a Roanoke VA to Cheyenne WY. Or Washington DC to San Francisco. Maybe convert some of the support cars dedicating each branch of the armed services. And maybe haul cars of various military equipment from ww2 to the war on terrorism.

The Large 4-8-4 was never from active roster by UP and she's out of the Twilight of Union Pacific Steam and she's kept going strong was Union Pacific #844 has been renumbered 8444 (1962-1989)

I watched this episode when it came out it is an amazing story towards the end of this episode where 844 pushes a stalled freight up Archer. It was amazing back in April when I was given a rare opportunity to take part in the Operation Lifesaver Special as part of the Boise Turn Heritage Tour. Operation Lifesaver and I go a long way back I actually helped them out a couple of times. This was a thank-you gift to me for following rail safety and plus it was a dream come true for me when I got to ride 844.

Alex D Yea. That locomotive that you linked below was renumbered in 1949 because of a coal strike (The Union Pacific renumbered 10 of the "early" Challengers by simply replacing the 8 with a seven, example 3810 became the 3710) but the U.P. renumbered that same engine again back to 3810 in 1950 (along with the other 9 "early" 4-6-6-4s that were numbered in the 3700 series). Now the "big" Challengers (which 3985 and 3977 are examples of) started being renumbered to the 3700 series in 1952. The U.P. converted to oil firing and renumbered 18 of the "big" Challengers (the conversion to oil firing started in the late 40s). 3975-3984 became 3708-3717 (with the 3977 becoming the 3710). The 3977 was renumbered again in 1961 to 900079 when her duties in snow melter Service began, when she was retired and put on display she got her original number back

Alex D It's all a little confusing to be honest lol. But in Territories like California and the Pacific Northwest where coal wasn't as available, U.P. Needed oil fired engines, and to make it easier to distinguish oil fired power from coal fired power, they changed the numbers of 18 of the Big Challengers to the 3700 series. If you ever want to read up on Union Pacific Challengers, there are two fantastic books called "Union Pacific Steam Challenger portraits" and "The History Of The Challengers", a lot of great stuff in those two books.
