Yesterday August 20, 2016, to help with my learning more about the Union Pacific Steam Shop Program, 844 and 4014, I went out to watch the Pere Marquette Berkshire / 2-8-4 run on the main line in Howell , Michigan.
I learned about there restoration and maintenance programs and of course I asked questions about the Union Pacific Steam Shop, restoration projects, 844 & 4014. The 1225 steam shop is located in Owosso, Michigan. That would be about 75 miles north of my train room.
As the UP 4014 project progresses, I plan on hanging out at the 1225 Round House to see what I can learn about steam restoration. You can read books, watch videos, but for myself, I feel the Round House in Owosso will be one more great source for information.
