Metal Gloss, and Hawkeye got to work a couple of минуты early, so they could look at the newly renumbered 844.

Hawkeye: Well, it's official. Her number has been changed.
Metal Gloss: I'm still really nervous about what the others will think.
Hawkeye: Perhaps they'll like the extra 4.
Metal Gloss: Maybe. Let's get started.

They got the engine coupled up to fifteen coaches, and brought the train to the station.

Metal Gloss: *Waiting for ponies to come onto the platform*
Hawkeye: No one so far.
Metal Gloss: I guess nopony wants to travel to North Platte.
Ponies: *Coming onto the platform from the station*
Hawkeye: или so we thought.
пони 49: Hey, they renumbered the steam engine.
пони 93: This is cool.
Ponies: *Taking pictures*
Metal Gloss: They actually like it.
Hawkeye: I told Ты so.

Union Pacific 844 remained as 8444 from 1963, until 1989. It is the only engine on the Union Pacific that has never been withdrawn from active duty.

The lesson to this episode is that many things change. We have to accept it whether we like it или not.
