Watch the best run pasts chosen from 15 years of shooting on Sherman Hill—with breathtaking views from both the ground and air—while learning about the rich history of the Union Pacific rail lines on this famous grade. This title captures 8444 between fan trips in the 1960s and 70s, hauling both revenue freight and passenger service, and features a singular event when 8444 pulled “The City of St. Louis” from Denver to Cheyenne.

Follow this unique trip from both trackside and in the cab. She steams out from Rawlins with a 105 car way freight. 8444 then takes the UP hotshot “Northwest Forwarder” Cheyenne to Rawlins non-stop with 78 cars. 8444 is part of the Union Pacific’s “royal family of steam.” Catch this intrepid engine hard at work!

“Your tapes of 8444 are absolutely marvelous and the photography is out of this world. The mechanical detail brought out in the tapes I have is superb....the cab interior views bring me right back to my own working days.”
