Public stop |
| Description: |
The 4014 made several public stops this day, as it would the next in Colorado. A couple were posted on the website; some, like Ellis earlier in the day, were not. All of them gave the legion of chasers a chance to catch their breath and get some local shots and get ahead. This would not be much of a factor in the chase strategy between Hays and Oakley, where I 70 was the chase road, but would make a difference later on. The train sits at its Grainfield stop, as depicted by the sign. |

Canteens |

Some roads called them cisterns. In todays world with its lack of watering facilities, steam trains need to carry a lot of water, which UP does by adding these two cars to the train, seen here on the Big Creek bridge at Ellis. |
