On October 7, 2010, I was able to catch for the first time the impressive Union Pacific Steam Train #3985, known as the "Challenger". Built in 1943 and weighing in at a wopping 487 tons, this amazing piece of steel put chills down by back when I saw it powering down the rails. This was a day I will never forget!!!
