Our story on Union Pacific's Challenger 3985 was originally produced when it was still in excursion service. It was retired by UP in 2020 and donated to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America last year where it will undergo restoration. Hop aboard our "blast from the past" story and enjoy this powerful locomotive's trek across Nebraska. #nebraska #trains #trainspotting Union Pacific Railroad | Nebraska Stories

The Challenger 3985 was not just a legend of its era, but a steam star that did more than the 4014 likely ever will. It's not over for the 3985 as hopefully the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America in Silvis, Illinois will get her in operational condition again. She departs Columbus, Nebraska and gets paced in this clip from the Railway Productions show "Challenger Union Pacific’s Legend of Steam" https://railfandepot.com/product/challenger-union-pacifics-legend-of-steam | Steam Giants
