For example, the 4-6-6-4 "Challenger", which is also on this hospital train, is 121 feet long (including its tender), nearly 50 feet longer!

I am not sure why it was removed, or if it is being included with the donation of the unit to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum.

Plains, fencing, tumbleweeds, and the occasional train! A tumbleweed is stuck in a barbed wire fence as UP 5716 leads an eastbound hospital train on Main 2. The crew just completed an inspection of the old equipment and have determined it is okay to continue. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

As the crew of UP's hospital train looks over the equipment on Main 2, they are notified of a "hot rail" on Main 1, an indication that a train is coming by. Said train is a westbound intermodal with four units on the head end. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This even includes a couple occasions I saw it run on the Moffat. While I am glad that it is going to be maintained at the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum in Silvas, IL, I am sad that it will no longer roam free on throughout UP's system.
