On 7 and 8 May 2007 the 4-8-4 Northern class Union Pacific Steam Engine Number 844 special train came through La Grande, Oregon.
At about 9:30 AM the 844 transited the Hilgard Crossing in the picture above. This was a rare opportunity to see a steam engine cross this "country crossing" just east of La Grande, Oregon. Read all about the 844 at Union Pacific's STEAM SHOP web site. You can actually have some fun with a little GPS Choo Choo Transportation geography and track the old 844 as it transits across the country
and through other county crossing.
