Hoot Mon!...lovely video. As an enthusiast of original transcon RR, we have been to Sherman Summit, interesting artifacts there, along with Ames Monument. Too bad we a cannot go down to Dale Creek Trestle site. Thanks.
And to think that forty years later an even bigger Union Pacific steamer is sometimes to be seen romping up and down Sherman Hill and elsewhere throughout the American West and Midwest
Any word on current progress with 3985? As close as I live to Silvis Illinois, I still haven't gotten any news on progress with the nearly ancient boiler.
I really believe the worst thing to do. Is allow an operating Steam Locomotive sit idle for long periods of time. This allows rust and corrosion to happen. Just the normal maintenance on any Steam Locomotive is the continuous upkeep. The Boiler is the most crucial part of all Steam Locomotives. Boiler explosions can do significant damage and loss of life in the surrounding area. Fortunately there has been very few boilers exploding over the close to 2 hundred years of Steam Locomotives. I truly believe that if the Diesel Electric Locomotives didn’t make their appearance until the mid 1960’s. The manufacturers of Steam Locomotives were improving them to the point of. Pretty much perfection. Becoming Low maintenance,better quality steel,condensing the steam back to water and recycling it over and over. All the bronze bearings were being replaced with either roller bearings or tapered Timken roller bearings. The thing about steam. The hotter the water temperature the higher the steam pressure. How much steam pressure depends on the quality of the boiler. Replacing a worn out boiler with a new one. Can cost over a million dollars on a Challenger or Big Boy Steam Locomotive.
What you have said about the need for both care and upkeep of the legendary historical steam locomotive 🚂🚂🚂🚂 trains is very, very important. They are part of our heritage as a nation, the USA. The steam boiler parts have to be maintained, and in a special way, the super heating part, with the need for a lot of water 💦💦💦💦. The problems associated with the super heating process can be so much so, that it was cause of the legendary historical steam locomotive engine train, and the basis for the movie, "The Polar Express" to stop running the excursion trips up in Michigan, the Pere Marquette #1225. Plus we are dealing also with other famous steam trains, such as the #4014, Big Boy, built for strength and both the UP 844, and the Northfolk And Western 611, both Queens of speed, for example to be giving top notch matenanceat All times .
Listen to the rest of what the narrator was saying. What he said was that the two diesels were taken off the train for the challenger to perform the runby. So yes, they most certainly did do their homework, the writer and the narrator as well as the video crew who captured such a spectacle.

A unique video of UP 3985 without an extra tank.
Or diesel helpers.
And with whitewalls
I need a helper men
Bob Neely at the throttle. A fine guy. His wife told me his work on the steam program was his most favorite ever.

@@THOMAS81Z The majority of the cab shots clearly show Bob Neely running. I think maybe I saw Steve in the last shot.
0:58 This Union Pacific Challenger Class Express Steam Locomotive Looks Amazing. Thanks Mate. X❤

Music to my ears.

Incredible Machine!

A wise man once said “It’ll be done when it’s done.” After all, money flows at the speed of donations.
Do you have return to Blue Ridge by Nick lera ?

🇳🇱SUPER👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
And the challenger wasn't even the largest they had.
It's the Big Boy.
Correction: Big Boy #4014, restored during the Twenty Teens.
The largest one before the restored "Big Boy"

What is this?!
$75 a ticket. $US25,400.76 was average annual salary. $488.47 a week. $75 a week would’ve been at least 50% of a normal worker’s weekly pay.😮

Not the Challenger…do your homework. 1:24
