Tomorrow (Wednesday) at about 10 AM a Union Pacific Steam Locomotive, number 844, will roll into the old Kingsville RR depot on a tour to the valley. This is a 4-8-4 ( a big one) built in 1944 and the last steam locomotive delivered to Union Pacific. I dont know how long it will be here and when (if ever) its coming back so if anyone has any interest in the "good-old-days" I hope you'll come over. A chance to make some real memories for kids and grandkids and just about anyone else too.

Cool! I love trains. Kelle and I were thinking of taking the Amtrak to Dallas for fun.

Here is a pic from the Caller Times online
More can be found here though they only have two decent photos of the train, the rest are kids and other folks. http://www.caller.com/photos/galleries/2010/apr/15/steam-engine/31968/#section_header
