Union Pacific 3985 - - - - - Recent Photos
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, January 19, 2004 8:51 PM
For all of you who have not gotten the chance to see the 3985 yet, or cannot see it at all, here are some recent photos that I have taken. And I must say, what a magnificent locomotive! If you have a chance, I encourage you to skip work or school to go see her, it is WELL WORTH IT! Remember these photos are copyrighted. Enjoy!

I have pictures of it when it came through Columbus, NE a couple of months ago. I have never seen it in person, I knew it was big, this thing is huge.
