      But public excursions on class 1 railroads other than UP are now non existent because of Amtrak’s charter ban started March 2018 and liability issues. Class 1’s don’t want the risk anymore of railfan excursions. Too many things can go wrong. NS allowed steam excursions again from Sept. 2011 to spring 2017 because then CEO Charles “Wick” Moorman was a railfan. He wanted steam to run on NS again and they partnered with TVRM then Fort Wayne with 765 and VMT in Roanoke with 611. Cheyenne is the only place in the US that has steam locomotives at a class 1 owned facility.

RRHMA has themselves a priceless piece of railroading history, as she's the last of her kind, the TTT-class (ironically, the Big Boys and Challengers are what replaced her in service on the Wasatch Range in the 1940s, that was originally the route that the "Triple Ts" had been built for 20 some years earlier).

    The thought of seeing 3985 and 4014 running together at some point possibly... that makes me a little excited. That it's even a possibility is even more amazing.

    Were the string of revenue cars for additional braking power? If not, crafty how Uncle Pete eased the expense of this overhead move by adding a few revenue cars!

    Sad to see it go from the UP heritage fleet, but nice to see restoration soon to take place. This could open the doors to a lot of possibilities. I ridden behind the Challenger twice, & the E9's twice. I also was old enough to remember seeing the Centennials in regular service during there second service life. The 6936 is one I wish they would of kept. Glad they did keep the E9's.

    just think in a few years we will have the "big 3", 4014, 3985 and 844. the 3 most iconic UP locos all be operational. the fact the 5511 will be too is just icing on the cake.
