Has anybody seen the Union pacific Steam engine lately? I am talking about the one that travel's the system a fiew times a year. I have seen it a fiew times in the past, but can't remember the unit number. For some reason 3985 comes to mind. I might be wrong.

Anyway I want to take some pictures of it. So I need a location. Maybe we can update this post enough that everyone on RailRoad-worker who care's will have a chance to see it.

If you happen to see this locomotive then let us all know here.

	You may be thinking of Union Pacific Challenger Steam Locomotive. The Challenger I think usually tours different states throughout the Summer. You will probably can find more about the Challenger on the Union Pacific Railroad's Website for where it goes on its tours and for photos of it also. I hope that helps you Speedswing! And One more thing: Did you know that the Chanllenger is only two to three feet shorter than the Union Pacific Big Boys! That would be so Cool to see them running side by side! Signed, SteamLover
