Steam & Excursion > Some memories of U.P. 3985Date: 01/04/20 10:38 Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: olddude41 The very first time I ever saw U.P. 3985 was back in the Fall of 2001 up in McAlester, Oklahoma. My youngest son Richard, my grandson Jeremy and I drove up to meet it and follow it down towards Fort Worth that day. Then Richard and his family followed it from the Denton, Texas area up to McAlester about 10 days later. Here are some of the photos we took on both days:
1. Jeremy Daniel Grant and UP3985 at McAlester, OK. 2. The late Lynn Nystrom at McAlester, OK. 3. UP 3985 departing McAlester, OK. More to follow . . . Larry W. Grant (olddude41) Dallas, Texas    Date: 01/04/20 10:41 Re: Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: olddude41 4. UP 3985 near Stringtown, OK.
5. UP 3985 near Durant, OK. More to follow . . .   Date: 01/04/20 10:46 Re: Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: olddude41 The following photos were taken by my son Richard and his family on the UP 3985's return trip.

Date: 01/04/20 15:21 Re: Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: olddude41 Jeremy is a part-time railfan. He recently brought his new wife, Natalie along with his Dad and I when we chased UP 4014. So, it sorta't took. It was Natalie's first time chasing and photographing trains and she had a ball.
The attached photo shows Natalie Elizabeth Grant, Jeremy Daniel Grant (he's gotten taller), Larry W. Grant and Richard W. Grant. Larry W. Grant (oildude41) Dallas, Texas  Date: 01/04/20 15:56 Re: Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: IC1038west Good stuff. Thank you for the sharing.

Date: 01/04/20 20:10 Re: Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: Bob3985 Thank you for posting such great photos of the venerable old 3985.
It was a pleasure to meet you and your family. Such great photos of your offspring are encouraging in that there is a hope for future railfans. Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Edited 1 time(s).

Jim Baker Riverside, CA Date: 01/05/20 06:44 Re: Some memories of U.P. 3985 Author: IC1038west Wow, really good stuff. Like the departure shot, image #3, with the intermediate signal, unattached diesel, and onlookers all in one shot. Very nice set of images.

They stopped at the old MKT Bellmead yard and shops and let us go up in the cab while they took on water from the local fire department. It was a fun day! Need to find those pictures!
