Union Pacific FEF-3 class ALCO 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive is stopped on a main line with its railfan excursion train in Colorado, 1980. Photographers and observers got off the train to take photos and to watch the photo run-by. The train had a full load of passengers and was sold out. This excursion train went to Sterling, Colorado, where it was turned around for the return trip back to Denver, Colorado. You can see the fireman in his cab window looking back on the train with a 2-way radio in his hands..

Union Pacific FEF-3 class ALCO 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 8444, is seen while stopped on a rail fan trip out of Denver, Colorado, July 26, 1980. The rail fan trip operated from Denver to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and then with a return trip to Denver, Colorado, all in the same day. The trip was sold out and I purchased tickets about six months in advance. You can see a cab crew member leaning out of the gangway with a radio.
Union Pacific 4-8-4 Northern FEF-3 class steam locomotive # 8444 has been turned with its train at Sterling for its return railfan trip to Denver, Colorado, summer 1980. A few of the cab members cab crew have their heads sticking out of the cab. Seen in the background standing on a hopper car are two railfans with cameras.
Union Pacific FEF-3 class Northern 4-8-4 oil burning steam locomotive # 8444, just led a rail fan excursion train on a photo run-by in Colorado during the summer of 1980. The train passed by this location during the photo run-by and then had to back down to this location again, after the photo run-by was completed to load the passengers, of which many were photographers. The track was line up with people for almost one half mile.

All'Amico Goffredo, Fefo per gli amici.
Un Amico
In questa storia che vi voglio raccontare
Vi parlo di un Amico, che non viene dal mare
Lui quando parla non ha peli sulla lingua
E quando scatta foto sembra proprio che dipinga.
Il primo pianto, in Via Marcello Federici
Vicino a casa mia e a quella di tanti altri amici
Io costruivo frecce, archi e cerbottane
Con le piastrelle lui giocava, o con le figurine.
Come tutti i bambini di Campo Parignano
Correva al forno, il forno di Piuccio
Comprava il pane, il pane quello buono.
Poi giocava a nascondino, proprio dietro la Chiesa
E a pallone, lì alla GIL, era forte in difesa.
E lì nessuno si faceva male
E mai nessuno finiva all'Ospedale.
S'intrufolava in Palestra, per guardare i suoi fratelli
Che saltavano leggeri tra parallele ed anelli
Erano Angeli senza ali, ma riuscivano a volare
E lui faceva capriole, felice, come al mare.
Si arrampicava a perdifiato, su alla Montagnola
Con la merenda ancora in tasca, appena uscito dalla scuola
E le farfalle gialle e nere, scappavano volando
Quando sentivano o vedevano che lui stava arrivando.
Come tutti i bambini di Campo Parignano
Con un capello, da grande esploratore
Andava al fiume e con la fionda in mano
Catturava lucertole, ranocchie e girini
Spaventava i passerotti, col fucile a piombini.
Ma mai nessuno si faceva male
E mai nessuno finiva all'Ospedale.
All'improvviso, un bel mattino, si è risvegliato grande
Le Elementari, dopo il ponte, alla Malaspina
Le Scuole Medie alla D'Azeglio e poi alle Industriali
Ora il ragazzo è quasi pronto per battere le ali.
E poi l'Amore lo sorprende, quasi come una scossa
Forse per colpa del gran caldo o della terra rossa
Ora con Anna, la sua storia diventa ancor più bella
Una casa, una famiglia ed è Lei la sua Stella.
Ma come a tutti i bambini di Campo Parignano
Gli è rimasta quella luce negli occhi
E quella voglia di correre lontano.
Con quelle foto che lui posta su Facebook
Cambia le idee pure a chi non ce le ha più.
Così nessuno si farà più male
E mai nessuno finirà più in Ospedale.

Train crew members on top of the tender are replenishing water, while other crew members standing next to the drivers are performing the lubrication tasks. In the background you can see the water tower with the city name Sterling, Colorado applied on the side of the tank. Shortly the train will move ahead to another location where it will be turned for the return trip back to Denver,

The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired over those years.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.

UP 4-8-4 Northern FEF-3 class steam locomotive # 8444 and its railfan excursion train is providing a photo run-by between Sterling & Denver, Colorado, summer 1980. On this trip I believe that speeds of 50 mph or greater were reached at times. Back in 1972 on a previous trip speeds of 70 mph were achieved. The locomotive most of the time is very clean burning with out too much smoke being generated, but for the photo run-by the UP cab crew attempts to generate extra smoke for the photographers. One nice detail about these earlier railfan trips is that the extra canteen cars or auxiliary tenders do not follow the tender and the situation appears to be much more normal. You can see the fireman in his cab window.
Union Pacific 4-8-4 FEF-3 class ALCO Northern steam locomotive # 8444 is being prepared to depart in the early morning sunlight with its railfan excursion train at Union Station Denver, Colorado, summer 1980. The railfans and photographer are located by every dutch door opening and at the baggage car door areas to observe or to capture the action on film. In this view you can see how the steam locomotive and tender tower over the lightweight passenger cars.
Union Pacific 4-8-4 Northern FEF-3 class steam locomotive # 8444 with its 12 car railfan excursion train is preparing for an early morning departure at Union Station in Denver, Colorado, summer 1980. The railfans and photographers are out and about inspecting and observing the locomotive and with many taking photos of this event. On a track to the left in the background is the Rio Grande Zephyr which will also depart early in the morning for its trip through the Rocky Mountains to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Union Pacific FEF-3 class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 8444, is seen leading a rail fan excursion train along the main line on a photo run-by in Colorado, July 26, 1980. Most of the herd of rail fans and photographers was located about seven hundred feet further back from my position. A better position would be at the rear end of the train prior to any other people being in the scene for a clean capture.
In October and November 2011 FEF-3 4-8-4 No 844 made a marathon tour of the West, ostensibly to celebrate the entry of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. The itinerary was as follows, Cheyenne, Denver, Trinidad, Dalhart, El Paso, Tucson Yuma, San Bernardino, Salt Lake City, and Cheyenne. On the afternoon prior to departure for Denver, UP’s last built Northern stands outside the former diesel shop where it resides alongside ‘Challenger” 4-6-6-4 No 3985.

Union Pacific ALCO 4-8-4 Northern FEF-3 class steam locomotive # 8444, led rail fan excursion train is seen on the main line at photo run-by location in Colorado, July 26, 1980. A great plume of smoke is seen at this location as the train heads into the scene. This oil burning locomotive can really generate the smoke on demand.
