Union Pacific Railroad's Challenger Steam Locomotive No. 3985

Union Pacific Railroad's Challenger Steam Locomotive No. 3985 Super Bowl XXXVIII Tour Train. These pictures were taken in the yard in Hearne, TX on 01/25/2004. My attempt to take some action shots was a bust...A four hour wait on the wrong track. Hopefully, the departure on 02/03/2004 will meet with better success...Stay Tuned. Finally! Added "on-rail" shots as Challenger passed through Spring/Conroe/Trinity, TX. NOTE: Auto-focus does not like smoke & steam. The Challenger re-visited Houston in June of 2004...All Aboard! for a new round of train chase photos.

Great pictures of the Challenger. I enjoyed the time to browse and be reminded of seeing Challenger in Houston.

You selected your position for the pictures very well and caught some wonderful images.

Dick,

The pictures you have taken are really nice. It was nice to meet you today (6-4-04) at the park waiting for the train to pass by. We chased the train from the San Jacinto to the 610 Loop and got some video. We will spin a copy off to CD for you if you send us a mailing address. That why you can attach the actual sound and a little motion to you very nice stills.


Thanks for the use of the Tripod.

Mike & Jim
