Birthday girl |
| Description: |
My wife(she wasnt yet in this photo) was adventurous, so when I suggested we take a ride behind a steam engine, she was all for it. She posed with one of the drivers on UP 4012 here, four days after her birthday, showing how big they are. She had a good time that day, and would do it again. |

Two types of power and canteens |

Big crowd |
| Description: |
As with everywhere the train stopped on this trip, the crowd at Nowata was big, as just about the whole town turned out. I got this shot holding the camera over my head to get a slightly better angle. We quit the chase here, heading back to Tulsa for a good dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse. |

Jammed |
| Description: |
The Wagoner stop posed some space issues, since the train was pulled up south of 5th St, a block from the diamond with the ex MKT, which we see in the foreground. It didnt leave a lot of room to park, and the streets are narrow as it is. We grabbed a shot and took off, wanting to beat him to Inola, a fairly straight shot for the train, but almost 30 miles by road. |

Overhead view |
| Description: |
I had taken the Winnebago as a chase vehicle, given that the Covid pandemic has taken on new life in the past six weeks, and this would give me a fridge and a bathroom that I didnt have to share with the rest of the world. It also made for a good place to shoot photos from. I used the ladder on the back of the RV to get this shot from the roof, getting a commanding view of the 4014 and the entire train. |

Through the trees |
| Description: |
One of the less appealing things about the ex MP route was the lack of overpasses, and that there were a number of places that were hemmed in by trees, a situation I would largely not have to deal with on a subsequent chase a week or so later in Kansas. Approaching a crossing north of Nowata. |

First contact |
| Description: |
I went up to Kansas to follow UP 4014 from its overnight stop in Hays to Sharon Springs. The train was back in the yard at Hays, so I went out along the line hoping for a shot that would work for a westbound in the morning. I caught him here at Yocimento, along old US 40, which follows the tracks from Hays to Ellis. |

Public stop |
| Description: |
The 4014 made several public stops this day, as it would the next in Colorado. A couple were posted on the website; some, like Ellis earlier in the day, were not. All of them gave the legion of chasers a chance to catch their breath and get some local shots and get ahead. This would not be much of a factor in the chase strategy between Hays and Oakley, where I 70 was the chase road, but would make a difference later on. The train sits at its Grainfield stop, as depicted by the sign. |

Quite a crowd |
| Description: |
The turnout for the steam train, even in some of the smaller towns along the route, was impressive.Grainfield isnt near much, but there was still a large crowd there. |
