Incredible footage of Challenger 3985, it's great to see footage of this engine during the 1980's period since there isn't much footage available from that era. Hopefully the 3985 will be restored back to operating condition in the future now that it has a home at a railroad maintenance facility in Silvis, Illinois. It is enjoyable to see 3985 move along at a high speed pace while hauling a passenger excursion train across UP rr territory.

The good ol' days when Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 #3985 was still burning coal and has yet to be converted to burn #5 fuel oil like she and Union Pacific 4-8-4 #844 does today. And Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 #4014 "Big Boy" is currently under restoration to operational condition bu the Union Pacific Steam Team and once she is operational between 2016-2018 UP 4014 will displace UP 3985 has the world's largest operating steam locomotive.

Honestly, I couldn't care what the fuel is as long as the locomotive runs... And I have a preference for oil...
