Reply to "UP #844 Southbound to Denver today"

Rode behind 8444 (844) on Memorial Day weekend,1973, Denver to Laramie (north bound), using the Dent Subdivision. With no diesel helper. As we approached the state line, the 8444 was down on her hands and knees, doing about 3-4 mph. Working so hard that the steam heat had to be turned off - - - and it got cold in those passenger cars! So, yes, that's a taxing bit of geography for the UP.
