The UP steam guys did a fantastic job getting her ready to hit the rails again. The engine is leading the greatest show on earth (the circus train) and is about to pass underneath E-470 south of Brighton.

UP coordinated with Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus to have UP 3985 lead the circus train south on the Greeley Sub. UP 3985 leading a 63-car passenger train (okay, some freight mixed in...but still). What a site! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The journey south from Greeley runs slightly upgrade, so the unit will be working for the balance of the trip. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 103505 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, June 17, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Carr (7,716ft) Carr, CO 2133 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific The crew on this coal load is throttling up, ready to leave the siding of Carr north on a clear signal. The train will have to go as quick as it can up to Speer as the ZLADV will be there before long, ready to head south to Denver. The flat car sitting on the house track to the right has been there for over six months. The car literally broke in two on a work train. It was welded back together (as a temporary fix) and was setup here. UP hasn't gotten around to dealing with it yet. More than likely, the car will be cut up and scrapped right here, on the spot.
