UP 3985 Glory Days By Herself, Arnold Loop,Nevada 1992
Author: RailRat

With all the hype and exitement building up about the UP Big Boy 4-8-8-4 going to Promontory (Ogden), Utah ...Thought  I would re-post this exiting video I filmed of UP 3985 Westbound in 1992 rounding the loop on the ex-WP, not far from same area of the big Transcontenenental Railroad thing thats coming this year. (Not Far meaning about 200 miles South West or so of Promontory,Utah,)

Enjoyed seeing that again.  That is the best video you guys have ever made.  Of course the location had a lot to do with that.

I agree! With enough train, and sufficient ascending grade, 3985 could REALLY sound great. I will surely miss her.

Every time I see a film like that, I question why I spend the time/money to shoot diesels.  Other than I still like to chase/photograph trains.  But nothing comes close to the grand spectacle of big-time steam working hard.

Jim, thanks for posting that again.  I remember seeing it the first time, and all I will say is what an impressive locomotive is the 3985.

The 3985 is doing what my late uncle would call "wheelin' and dealin'. Just an awesome display of steam doing what its built to do, and do it well...

Thanks All For The Nice Comments, there was an ol Hogger up there next to me who was so thrilled he was shouting "oh my god that's beautiful" or something similar, he was down from Washington with another railroader named Rodger Mum or something like that.

Thanks Tom, it's just me who video taped it, then made the digital conversion 24 years later.

Out-Frickin'-Standing. Raw steam power with no diesels cut-in. The way God intended for it to be.
