The big stop of the day |
| Description: |
The stop that was posted on the UP Steam Programs website was here at Strasburg, where it seemed everyone for 50 miles around turned out. The 4014 arrives, seen from the Wagner St overpass, just west of the station site, and where there is a now isolated yard full of relics. |

Tight view |
| Description: |
A closer in look shows the crowd, as well as the lift truck, and some of the odds and ends that are now land locked here: a box car, a stock car, a former PFE NW 2, and tucked in behind the silos, a pair of DRGW reefers, one of which can be seen to the left of the silo. It seems all of Strasburgs 1402 residents are in attendance. |

So slowly |
| Description: |
The time has come for the 4014 to roll out to its final stop in Denver. The crew, mindful of the large crowd at close quarters, moves up very slowly as it splits the sea of humanity before it. |
