No auxiliary water tenders, no diesel helper in tow, and white walls! Too cool! Thank you for sharing this! I was fortunate enough to see her in her new home a few weeks ago!
Dont have much further details on De Luz Video other than that it was ran by Ed Boulter starting in the 70s or early 1980s & stop making videos in the mid 80's subsequently fading into obscurity. De Luz Video didnt have a very long tenure as a video company (Im estimating that De Luz lasted maybe 3 or 4 years beginning in 1980 or so) so trying to find out more information is very challenging. I will be bringing up De Luz Video in my upcoming video on Railroad Lost Media.

Perfect for preparation for what is to come by next week =3
Awesome! I wish I saw this train in 1981 at the age of 17.
Back when 3985 still had coal for fuel. Now she’s starting a new career with the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.
Classic vintage video!
I Do Love The Sound Of Her Auto Bell.
It's interesting that WAY over 100 years after the first steam locomotive was built here they still use bells today.
Do you have any more information about De Luz Video?

Union Pacific Challenger #3985
Wouldn’t it be 1982 since all 3985 did in 1981 was a test run to LaSalle and back and double-head with 8444 to and from Sacramento (for Railfair 81)?
I just now updated the title & thumbnail to reflect the date on the video of 1982.
3985 is one of the Pacific class engines.
The 3985 is part of the challenger class of locomotives not the Pacific class!
Love the videos on up 3985 and Up 844 keep these incredible videos coming hope to see more steam on the mainline🔥🚂🚟🚃🚃🚃🚟🚃
Ah the 80s
Where does 3985 go to in this video
They can`t say 3985 is largest engine today because 4014 is bigger.!!!!!!!!!!!
Well duh.
