Union Pacific FEF-3 class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 8444 (aka: 844) with its railran excursion train is stopped at a photo run-by location on the last leg of the round trip back to Denver from Sterling, Colorado, Summer 1980. It is late in the day, but a large crowd of railfans and other observers were out to see the train perform its run-by before continuing back to Denver to arrive in the evening. A couple of tracks over on the left side is a freight train with its caboose at the end. It appears that the tender is being filled with water at this location. Behind the tender is a baggage car that is used for photography and sound recording.
