The Lope: 844 Returns |
 | | I have a bit of history with 844; I saw it for the first time in Denver, CO nearly 30 years ago in the summer of 1976. |
 | | Thus, in 1962, the number "844" was given to the GP-30 diesel seen below, and the steam engine formerly known as "844" became "8444." When the diesel was retired, the extra "4" was dropped from the steam engine. |
 | | And so, 844, by any other name, had been popping up in my life for thirty years, about half of the time of its existence, and two thirds the time of mine. |
