RAILFANNING - PAGE 1
August, 2000 and the UP #3985, a 4-6-6-4 Challenger type locomotive, has ventured from her home in Chyenne, Wy. to Los Angeles, Ca. for the Democratic National Convention.

I chased the train on its way home between Kelso, Ca. and Las Vegas, NV.

Here it is laying over in Vegas.
Passing the old station at Kelso, Ca.
Upgrade out of Kelso.
Williams Junction, east end of the Crookton Bypass.  Taken in August, 2000.
Johnson Canyon Tunnel, about 15 miles west of Williams.

This was originally the AT&SF transcontinental main, but became abandoned in the early 1960's when the Crookton Bypass was created.
