I always enjoy seeing footage of Union Pacific 3985 in operation as this locomotive is an impressive sight to see hauling passenger trains at speed across the country. Hopefully Challenger 3985 will return to operation in the future after it receives it's required maintenance repairs in Illinois within another 10 years.

I wish I saw this train in 1991 at the age of 26.

Hey Man I appreciate the Union Pacific Steam videos I hope more videos like this one is coming with NKP 765 and so on but I Love the Up Steam videos💯🔥🚂🚃🚃🚟🚃🚃

3985 has a smaller wheel diameter than 4014 not to mention. I’ve seen 3985 in action before and 4014 just got started pulling passenger trains. 3985 stole the spotlight in my opinion

[@ConcededGlue182]

The 4014 ain’t got nothing on the 3985. 3985 will BEAT 4014 in a race

[@rudycarlson8245]

Dude, these two steam locomotives are not meant for racing

[@T128Productions]

@@rudycarlson8245 No indeed. They were designed specifically for heavy hauling.
