Today was the first day the Union Pacific steam crew started with the Union Pacific donation special. The three main attractions on this train were 4-6-6-4 #3985, 2-10-2 #5511, and dd40ax #6936. In addition to this, many other historical pieces of equipment were included in this. This consist's final destination is Silvis, Illinois, where all of the equipment will be restored to operation by the nonprofit Railroading Heritage Of Midwest America. It will take years to restore this equipment, but it is important that it is done properly, so in the end, it will be worth the wait to see these locomotives under their own power. Join us as these locomotives take to the mainline for the last time under Union Pacific's ownership.
