  • coal fired or oil?

  • Its an Oil Burner - #5 fuel oil recycled, or something like that

  • All of us railfans owe a big debt of gratitude to The Union Pacific for keeping this and their other historical equipment running.

  • Awesome!

  • it uses used motor oil as fuel

  • @Westbound70 I get the feeling that UP is run by train fans!!

  • @Trainguyxx The top speed of the 3985 is 72 mph and going downhill it can go 75-78 mph.

  • @SkipW the 3985 and 844 both run off of #5 fuel oil that is recycled from the eveygrowing fleet of diesel locomotives.

  • @Trainguyxx According to UP, 70 mph.

  • @Trainguyxx I believe it is 72.5 milers per hour, but I'm not sure.

  • also could you imagine having to shovel stoke one of those puppies at 70mph across the iowa and nebraska flatlands?

  • That, my friend, is what makes me proud to be anamerican XD

    oh and also, i was wondering if anyone kew wat the top speed of the challenger is fully loaded, or just normally loaded, whichever. My friend is drivng it in a simulator with cars and it's going 70 mph

  • Ah, nothing like seeing a nice thick plume of black sooty coal smoke blasting out of the stack of an old iron workhorse once in a while. I hope Al Gore is watching and shits his pants.
