Boise Turn special

On April 22-23, 2017 the Union Pacific Steam Engine No. 844 came steaming into Boise. The reason for the occasion was the Boise Train Depot 92nd Anniversary. In September of 2016 I asked the question to my state coordinator to see who to contact to bring the locomotive to Boise. This led to an application being submitted by him and a group of people working at UP. We found out later in January of 2017 that the engine would arrive on Saturday April 22. I work for the Boise Parks & Rec. as a tour guide of the Boise Depot and since starting tour once a month at the depot three years ago the Parks & Rec have now been able to do open houses.
This video highlights the events that took place during the 22-23. Some of the video was shot by me and others was shot by my father. The entire weekend was a great a fun experience.

As a former conductor and trainman on U.P. The event was great! It brought back memories of some of the runs and working in those wonderful cars .
