May 6th had 4014 & Co. leaving from Rock Springs at just 4AM, which meant that it would be under pure darkness for a while. More importantly, that meant that at some point, the sun would rise and shine a brilliant morning light on our moving train. The question was where the train would be when dawn approached and if we could be there to see it.
Two and a half hours later, the small town of Granger, Wyoming was greeted by the two locomotives and dozens of chasers. It was hardly two minutes before the engines came into view that the sun peaked out above a nearby ridge and provided some of the most gorgeous and perfect morning light we could ask for. Being only about 6:30AM and the fact the sun had only just begun to climb, it was cool enough outside that 4014 and 844 were able to give off an absolutely stunning display of bright and vibrant steam into the sky as they rolled into the tiny town for a forty minute stop. It was a show so very few people were lucky enough to be able to witness, and we were one of the few. It stands out as one of the single best moments during the two week chase.
