Union Pacific 3985 Challenger 4-6-6-4 steam locomotive.
This video was made in June 2002 when 3985 was touring in the Chicago area.
The scenes are from Elmhurst, Des Plaines, Northbrook, and Glenview, Illinois.
Union Pacific Challenger No. 3985 was designed by Union Pacific and built in 1943 by the American Locomotive Company. It is one of 105 Challengers built for Union Pacific between 1936 and 1943 and was, for many years, the only operating engine of its class in the world.
3985 last operated in "regular" train service in 1957. It was retired in 1962 and stored in the roundhouse in Cheyenne, Wyoming, until 1975 when it was placed on display near the Cheyenne depot. A group of Union Pacific employees volunteered their services to restore the locomotive to running condition in 1981.
Union Pacific has announced plans to donate Challenger No. 3985 to the non-profit Railroading Heritage of Midwest America (RRHMA) who plans to restore it back to operating condition.
