Union Pacific 4014 - Winds of the West
BTCRAIL FILMS posted a photo:
About an hour and half out after leaving Chicago, Union Pacific #4014 rolls through the windy Indiana farmland as it heads to its first whistle stop in Argos, Indiana. This was the first time the massive 4-8-8-4 "Wasatch" type steam engine left Union Pacific trackage, as the locomotive's great journey east to Philadelphia, Pennsylivana, would be on Norfolk Southern trackage.
Also interesting to note, the small town of Argos, IN, in 2020 had a census count of around 1,777. When UP 4014 rolled stopped in town, the population swelled up to 10,000 people. Thank god I drove around that mess.
