The Challenger on Sherman Hill - English • Great Railways

[@bensonjarvis5025]

A unique video of UP 3985 without an extra tank.

Or diesel helpers.

Bob Neely at the throttle. A fine guy. His wife told me his work on the steam program was his most favorite ever.

@@THOMAS81Z The majority of the cab shots clearly show Bob Neely running. I think maybe I saw Steve in the last shot.

Hoot Mon!...lovely video. As an enthusiast of original transcon RR, we have been to Sherman Summit, interesting artifacts there, along with Ames Monument. Too bad we a cannot go down to Dale Creek Trestle site. Thanks.

Incredible Machine!

[@DrFruikenstein]

Any word on current progress with 3985? As close as I live to Silvis Illinois, I still haven't gotten any news on progress with the nearly ancient boiler.

And the challenger wasn't even the largest they had.

[@TheBoysTopSecretisOrganization]

It's the Big Boy.

I really believe the worst thing to do. Is allow an operating Steam Locomotive sit idle for long periods of time. This allows rust and corrosion to happen. Just the normal maintenance on any Steam Locomotive is the continuous upkeep. The Boiler is the most crucial part of all Steam Locomotives. Boiler explosions can do significant damage and loss of life in the surrounding area. Fortunately there has been very few boilers exploding over the close to 2 hundred years of Steam Locomotives. I truly believe that if the Diesel Electric Locomotives didn’t make their appearance until the mid 1960’s. The manufacturers of Steam Locomotives were improving them to the point of. Pretty much perfection. Becoming Low maintenance,better quality steel,condensing the steam back to water and recycling it over and over. All the bronze bearings were being replaced with either roller bearings or tapered Timken roller bearings. The thing about steam. The hotter the water temperature the higher the steam pressure. How much steam pressure depends on the quality of the boiler. Replacing a worn out boiler with a new one. Can cost over a million dollars on a Challenger or Big Boy Steam Locomotive.

What is this?!

[@robertchapman6795]

$75 a ticket. $US25,400.76 was average annual salary. $488.47 a week. $75 a week would’ve been at least 50% of a normal worker’s weekly pay.😮

Not the Challenger…do your homework. 1:24

[@T128Productions]

Listen to the rest of what the narrator was saying. What he said was that the two diesels were taken off the train for the challenger to perform the runby. So yes, they most certainly did do their homework, the writer and the narrator as well as the video crew who captured such a spectacle.
