The Beginning of the Journey Home
Monday, April 28, 2014
Part I (of I-II)
On the above date, steamer UP 4014 began an 11 day journey from West Colton Yard, CA (most closely associated with the City of Colton) to Cheyenne, WY.
The 4014 was first caught up with in Devore, where it was parked in the SP Dike siding. Throngs lined the area roadway. Because of an unexpected, bizarre personal equipment failure, K.P. had to correct matters in the BNSF Verdemont area. When he returned to Devore, steamer 4014 had departed, so a straight path to Cajon was taken via I-15, and he backtracked from Cleghorn Rd., but unfortunately K.P. arrived at a cool photo spot the same time as UP 4014 did, so that opportunity was thwarted. So, he went to the Mormon Rocks area railroad north of the north switch of the Canyon siding, where many people had already staked out their photo spot.
The siding area itself was packed with fans and their vehicles!
Then, after a long time at Canyon, 4014 started out of the siding area.
