Union Pacific 3985 came to town last weekend and departed on Monday morning. Many railfans young and old were there to see the 1,076,000 lb Challenger steam engine head north to Dunsmuir. Many railfans chased the train which also included UP 1983 (Western Pacific heritage diesel), UP 3984 and a nice long passenger train. I had two of my nephews with me (Mike and Matthew) who handled the audio and video recording while I manned the still camera. I've added my photos along with a few audio clips from our trip. This is the first time I've posted audio so let me know how you like it!
