Prior to his way-too-early passing at the age of 44, my dad was a locomotive engineer for Union Pacific Railroad so I have always had the railroad as part of me.
In 2014, when 4014 was moved from SoCal to the UP Steam Shop in Cheyenne, WY, for restoration, a car club buddy and railroad enthusiast and I "chased" 4014 during the transit across SoCal.
We also were part of the crowds welcoming 4014 back to SoCal during its 2019 visit.
Memories.
