Tucked in the southern Nebraska panhandle, Lodgepole is a friendly town of 318 persons with a strong sense of community. Founded in 1867, Lodgepole's history is tied to the development of the Union Pacific Railroad and early western pioneers.
Lodgepole is located, on U.S. Hwy 30/385, 19 miles east of Sidney, and just three miles north of I-80 at exit 76. It is one of five towns in Cheyenne County. Lodgepole is 190 miles northeast of Denver, CO on I-80 & I-76; 121 miles southwest of Cheyenne, WY on I-80, 328 miles west of Lincoln, NE and 379 miles west of Omaha, NE.
Lodgepole's population according to the 2010 Census is 318. Latitude 410902 / Longitude 1023826; Ground Elevation 1167.0 Lodgepole was founded in 1867, platted in 1884 and incorporated as an official town in 1901. The town was named Lodge Pole by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867. In 1895 the postal department changed the name to the one word spelling of Lodgepole. The community's name is derived from the creek bearing the same name, stemming from when the Indians cut poles for teepees along it banks. It is the second oldest community in Cheyenne County. Interesting Facts Lodgepole is home to the 1987 Ford Bronco used to mark the Pony Express route from the east coast to the west coast. The Bronco was donated to the Lodgepole Depot Museum in 2010. Lodgepole is on the Oregon Trail, the Pony Express Route, the first transcontinental railroad (Union Pacific) and the first transcontinental highway; the Lincoln Highway aka US Hwy 30.

That whistle/horn must be the ultimate toy! Well in fact the whole train.
It's nice hearing this whistle back on 4014.
I've seen that one in town before on its tour. Absolutely massive and astonishing
Bad news: stock whistle’s back on
Built with no technology, a ruler a brain and a pencil absolutely incredible.
Up 844 blows it's currently whistle used for behing in UP 150th anniversary special
Skip, you gave me more reason to keep writing train songs about Ed and the 844...here comes one now, and "IT'S ALRIGHT!" Fabulous chase and camera work right from the get go when Ed said "844 ready to go!...over."
1:06 that whistle thur 1:28 is amazing
that gives me chills hearing i have always loved the 4000 class big boys and that is impressive with a steam fanatic
that is, that is not a big boy
Thanks again for your dedication, SkipW. And thanks again, UPSteam. Let's keep 'em rolling at full steam!

Kudos to the U.P. Track Crew. Riding smooth.
All I want for Christmas & my fingers are crossed too.

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO
In one word. Fantastic. I am sorry that in Portugal with so many steam locomotives and that they are no longer used especially with tourists and children so that they could see what it was like in the old days.
The gruntiest whistle ever,,,,great vid....
Love the old steam engines.
Great video - a Lodgepole legacy!
I did my steam era 1945 to 1953, then it became diesel era. These ole steamers don't have the traction for the power they really have. Great looking ALCo :-)
Great to watch again Skip when is your next upload, All the best Barry

Wondering how many miles UP put on the 844 during the year, what with trips over all the major routes in western U.S.A. & from north to south...???

Which locomotive do you think is more awesome ? The Union Pacific Big Boy, the 3985 Challenger, 844, Southern Pacific 4449, or the Santa Fe 3751 ?
Up 844 goes to Kansas Missouri Illinois & arkansas trips
Mabey 2014 or so, we will try to find out more at Cheyenne Depot Days May 19 & 20
Lower emmissions than a bunch of hippies at a save the planet gathering. A lot less damage to the forests also.
And the North Platte Railfest folks must be disappointed about that line UP of events.
The old Uniden BC72XLT scanner
Tim templeton as up 844
awesome shot! makes me wonder if the throttle was wide open?
Listen to the rumble. Listen to the roar.
Is the 844 a freight loco or express loco? How fast can she get? German express locos can do up to 80 mph. Freighters absolut 50 mph.
How exactly are you picking up the radio transmissions?
Up 844 going to shiloh limited civil war troop train union pacific steam program
do trains use normal cb radios? if so what channel?
Up 844 high speeds fast
844 is cool but 3985 is twice the fun
great video, hardly a highball though. He never breaks 55
Who is the Hog head on 844 today?
Nice! is 844 your favorite?
@Skip, does anyone know when 3985 is projected to be back in service?
This comment aged well 😅

What is the purpose of the diesel? Power generation?
Being a douche and ruining a steam locomotive’s glorious moment
no dumbass ^
The diesel is used for electricity generation to other pulling carts and ensure emergency braking is needed.
1:06

100 but the track limit is usually just 79 mph
