Great roster shot of an historic 4-6-6-4 Challenger, UP #3985. The loco was one of the stars in multiple excursions throughout the Unitied States before being pulled from service in 2010. Unfortunately, no date, location or photographer was listed on this older reprint which is now in my rr collection. Approximations were used for posting.

An awesome closeup of UP #3985 at Portala, CA. Date approximate.

UP #3985 and #6936 doublehead an excursion through Union Junction, Oregon. I really like the high angle of this shot, too bad the power lines are blocking the train. Date approximate.

We had a great Railroading Heritage of Midwest America Silvis shop tour during the great "Walk Amongst the Giants" event! UP donated steam locos #5511 and "Challenger" #3985! The first RRHMA public event after opening to the public! NRE still owns the building and uses part of it and leases some to RRHMA! In a couple years NRE will vacate! I was happy to catch some NRE diesels here! (Canon AE-1 Program 35mm camera, Fuji 400 Superia print film)
