Route 66 roadie Brian Kreimendahl went to catch the Union Pacific Railroad's historic No. 844 steam engine as it powered its way into the Route 66 towns of Tucumcari and Santa Rosa, N.M., last week as part of its South Express History Tour.
Brian has a lot of nice photos on his site here, including the stop at Santa Rosa shown above and the stop at the Tucumcari station below. For information about the train's other stops, go here.
