This weekend I went to Hearne, TX to see UP 844 (You can see the rest of my pics on flickr, and check out this Youtube video:
YouTube - UP 844 Arrives in Hearne ). I got a few shots of Jimmy, too.
At a cool diner. Had some nasty, greasy food there...the way diners should be!

Doing some "off-roading"
I turned into this "parking lot" and realized that it was basically just the side of the road with some gravel! You can see where the other cars are parked--I didn't think I could risk pulling up that close! UP 844 is just behind the Double-stack train, which pulled in after I got there! I thought I was cut off from the car, but I was able to hop the track just ahead of the (stopped) locomotive.
Finally, downtown Hearne, which was really depressing. Very empty!
