Circus Train Steam History |
Description: |
The UP uses the 4-6-6-4 Challenger No. 3985 to pull the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus train from Speer, WY to Denver, CO. There were way too many morons out on the road. Makes me wish I had a shotgun. |

Military Train |
Description: |
A northbound military train stops at the Crews Control Point with a clear signal. The Second motor was shut down with low oil and wouldn't restart and the lead motor shut down because of low water. A homeowner next to the tracks was nice enough and had a long enough hose to stretch over to the train and fill up the cooling water system so the engine would restart and continue it's journey. |
