    Taken from a thread on Railroadforums.com -- UP 844 has run into some wheel problems, after the trailing diesel unit got stuck in run 8 - causing the steamer to be pushed with its brakes on, causing wheel flats .. apparently wheels are being taken out & sent for profiling .

    Edit -- there is video s up on You Tube of it in Mt Pleasant TX -- with people grinding the wheel flats !

    Thanks for adding addition links on this subject -- I too was amazed looking at the guys with grinders on the driving wheels
