Some came running

But they were too late to see the UP 844 Special come rolling across the river, past the electric plant, and into the station. I'd say that locomotive 844 was nearly thirty minutes early. We were watching its location on the GPS site as it moved past Landa Park, New Braunfels, Ajax, and many other points not always on the map. It was fun to look them up using the on-line Handbook of Texas. Then it neared Kyle and we headed on out. What a beautiful, beautiful sight! And sound! And vibration! What insanely happy grins on all faces! I think we'll check it out again tomorrow. Today, everytime we were near the station, we saw people hanging around looking. Static is interesting; in motion is thrilling.
