Getting the Train Back Together
After spending the previous day on display for the public at the Houston Amtrak Station, UP's Heartland of America Tour reassembles its train to head back towards Cheyenne.
In order to provide better public viewing the Big Boy had been parked at the west end of the Amtrak depot, behind its train. So, departure required a few moves to put everything back together. While UP 4014 helped, most of the work was done by the diesel helper with the Big Boy moved out of the way.
Now that UP 9625 has the entire train back in one piece on the main, UP 4014 shoves back to couple up to its train and head out of town.
