Union Pacific Challenger 3985, "The Challenger Special" 1982 

With the recent news of the UP Donation Special leaving for Silvis in only a few days, heres another video from my archive.
The Challenger Special depicts Union Pacific 3985 operating excursions in 1981, shortly following its 2 year long restoration taking place from 1979 to 1981.
this program was produced by De Luz Video, a long forgotten video company that operated out of Fall Brook, California from the late 1970s until the early 1980s.
