support cars are a day late they will meet up with at Rawlins Big Boy does not need dynamics until Creston so they can run light #844 did it but that was before PTC.
@@geomodelrailroader Do they need the Home Plate Special to return to Cheyenne, or do they have enough heritage cars for both trains? I know one of their diesels hauled it to Omaha like a week or two ago IIRC.
Looks like 4015 could use some paint. 🎨 it’s great that the big boy is up and running in 2024. Well done.
I hope to see this!
Poor Silver Slippers (4015) got left behind. Sitting there unloved and alone. I want to drive 1,000 miles to give Silver Slippers (4015) a big hug.
O my she is coming to Dallas in September 2024
Oh my god, this better be about silver slippers (4015)
4015 needs a BATH.
Wait are they not taking 4015 with them? I thought UP said in their steam club email they still planned on taking it with.

@@geomodelrailroaderI don’t believe the passenger equipment will join the train until California.
I guess all of the UP passenger cars and the UP E units should be called silver slippers too lmao, it’s not just 4015
I agree. I heard 4015 got the nickname by railroaders when it would be used on other freight consists. lol
