If anyone did not get a shot of UP3985 on the Blair Sub.,Now's your chance.
It will happen on june 26th2004....or check the UP web site.
www.UPRR.com./"3985".trackUP3985 by GPS on your computer.
Im quiet exited because this will be UP3985's second trip going west through Blair,neb.
Tell you what this very rare around here.this will be the second time too for UP3985.

I just checked the schedule. It's scheduled over the Blair sub on the 26th. It shows laying over in Fremont from the afternoon of the 26th until monday morning.
It's figured into Fremont about 130PM, so knowing the way things seem to go, it could be the 27th before it actually gets there, lol.

Some college kids are going to shoot a video and call it The Blair Sub Project.
It will be very spooky because the 3985 will make it over the sub. with no freight train caused delays.[:D]

Sounds like fun, believe me there's nothing like seeing live steam.

If you're anywhere in the area be sure and make the trip down there.
