Nostalgia & History > 3985 in SLCDate: 07/16/08 21:47 3985 in SLC Author: Ardenwood 1. The first time I saw UP3985 was inside a fence near the Cheyenne depot.
In 1982 I saw it alive for the first time in Salt Lake City while the city fire engine was filling the tender. 2. I am still getting used to the camera and I apologize for the poor quality. The Challenger, without those yellow tenders, made a trip to the next town toward Provo, starting several brush fires. A seasoned railfan said, "In the olden days these fires did not happen because frequent steam travels burned everything near the tracks that burned.." 3. UP3985 near the Salt Lake depot.

Salt Lake City in 1982 was the first time I saw #3985, too-- I lived (and still live) just a few blocks from where your photos were taken.

It is photos like these that make me feel it was all worth it working to restore 3985 back to service and the trip to Sacramento was my reward in 1981. It has been a joy to have been a part of its life through out the years.
