      I guess it looked more dramatic than it was. On the other hand, had it not been caught, it could have been VERY dramatic! Thanks for watching. -DeAnn

    Very nice DeAnn! My coffee got cold before I got off work and viewed the show. But of course, you always warm things up nicely. Thanks for the Challenger report! Stay safe! Cheers, Danny

    Thanks for another great video. Growing up in the 1950's in Wisconsin along the old Milwaukee Road/C&NW lines I had the honor of actually seeing these beasts at the end of steam in the early 1960's. All the kids in the small town I grew up in (Sturtevant) would run to the tracks when we heard one coming. You could actually hear them coming from 5 miles away, and when they went buy the earth at our feet actually moved. Although I love diesel electric, nothing could and never will replace steam.

    Doesen't supirse me that they retired 3985. They got the Big Boy up and running. And keep in mind that they also have 844 running non stop.
    They already do so much work to keep these two running.
    Taken an other loco to their steam program would be to much work.

    • @Railfandepot
      @Railfandepot  3 роки тому

      Yes, Union Pacific Heritage Operations manager Ed Dickens has said that two steam engines is their current capacity as far as trained personnel. As for me, I count us as very lucky UP supports these steam efforts. There are likely stockholders who complain, probably loudly, about this budget line item. -Tim
