Union Pacific Steam Train 844

This was taken a few years ago in Round Rock, Texas (fast shutter speed froze the wheels).
Heading out towards the East.
The drive wheels are over 6 feet in diameter. You can see the bottom half. Now look at the Fireman at his upper body and compare (I think the Fireman sits on the right side).

Great picture, I see the number on it is 844, I have a picture of number 833 at a Museum in Ogden Utah. Good to see it still working.http://youtu.be/O8BXipiLfwA This is a link to U-Tube video of 844 from Denver to Cheyenne, I hope the link works.
