Then we'll cover the entire 'Great Race to Ogden' - the inaugural doubleheader with 4-8-4 #844 to Ogden, UT to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. Finally, we'll chronicle the return to Cheyenne as #4014 conquered the famous Wasatch grade, raced across the Wyoming desert, and ascended the legendary Sherman Hill.
