I love this video! By the way, do you happen to have any footage you might make a video of about the early days of Union Pacific 844 such as its regular service life in the 1940s and 50s its time as a snow plow in the winter of 1960 and its very first fan trip excursions in the early 1960s

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

What you see is what we have

A doubleheader between Union Pacific 8444 (A.K.A Union Pacific 844) and Challenger 3985 to Railfair 81 with a special excursion train.

1:01 I don't think I've ever heard 3985s air ringer on a psi that low before

[@zacharycalgher3978]

Do you have footage of Santa Fe 3751 in 1995 and 1996?

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Nope

[@Silvertone_Spiral]

I know they probably had their reasons, but I wish that there weren’t any diesels on that train

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

The reason cited in the very video was dynamic braking.

[@Silvertone_Spiral]

@@DynamoProductions-trains Ah, gotcha. I honestly should’ve guessed, it’s why many mainliner steamers got diesels as assistance.
