Now that's an unusual composition for UP #844! Nicely captured with the plume naturally cutting off rear of the train.

Part of our country's under maintained infrastructure. Please note that one of the refinery towers ( directly over the loco's smokebox door) is not quite vertical. Very many U.S. refinery's are past their Hundredth Birthdays. Especially the ones located in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, where oil was first discovered. Both refinery's in Tulsa, Oak. and the one in Warren, Penn. are that old. I have worked in the Sunoco plant in Tulsa, Oak. and the Warren, Penn. refinery as well. However all U.S. Refinery's will continue to be repaired or rebuilt because any that are abandoned or demolished would become A Super Fund clean up site, with the associated fines.
