Chasing the Challenger, 10-1-08

On October 1st, 2008, UP 3985 Challenger came down the Worthington Sub. on it's trip from St. Paul, MN back to it's home in Cheyenne, WY. This was apart of the Railfest and Twin Cities Limited tour. I got lucky and skipped school to chase it with my uncle, grandma, and his friend. It was an amazing day! I will never forget it!! Enjoy!!
Check out the respones video!! It has some other footage!!

Awesome Turner! Look at 3985 go!

[@sgtredbluered]

Nice camera work, always has the light correct, the low level of the camera with the grasses blowing, definitely an eye for perspective. Great!!

[@SkipW]

Great Video! & thanks 4 posting it

[@UPTurner]

Thanks there Kyle!! I don't know if they will. In the 80s or 90s, APL had 3985 pull a 143 intermodal train on the transcon. That sure would be sweet to see it pull freights again!!

[@pwalpar]

Excellant footage and good video

[@UPTurner]

Wow!! That's pretty neat!! She does look really nice!! Thanks for the comment!!

[@UPTurner]

Thanks alot!! Ya she has a great whistle!!

[@UPTurner]

Thanks alot Glenn!! Your video of 3751 was GREAT too!! We both chased some steam that week!!

[@rockchickvw]

Awesome video, Turner! You caught it so many times...lucky! I had to work the day it went from Iowa to the Twin Cities and I couldn't get out of it. My friends got to go chase her though. Man, I am kicking myself for not getting to see it! Just from watching your video, you can tell what a rush it would be to see it coming past you. Once again, excellent video!

[@railfan101]

Masterfully shot and edited. Well done...
notable typical steam-chasing moments that prolly made Turner go "AHHHHHHH"!!!:
1:40 poor luck on the pickup showing up just then...
5:21 What tha? You GOTTA be kidding me...
[sigh]
7:21 the "bozo" horn honking. LMAO
I think Turner has the patience of a Saint. I heard. Glad you had nice weather for it (looked chilly). And what a great thing to skip school for..

Thanks alot John!! I know!! I think he had to have been a UP photographer. They weren't going as fast as usual and he had the bell going. He first was sitting in he middle of the tracks before then, then he LAID DOWN inbetween the tracks!! I thought it was going to be a suicide!! But then he got up and took the pick!! Kinda weird!!
