I chased UP #3985 from Cheyenne to North Platte on Sept 18. It was a good if somewhat hectic chase. There were about 20 cars chasing it with me, and I often had to pass about 10 cars on a narrow two lane highway to get to the next run by. Here are some of my shots.
Archer WY
Pine Bluffs WY
Potter NE
Potter NE Point of Rocks
Brule NE
North Platte NE
I think that they had to adjust the brakes on the two engines, but other than that it was running well.
There is a nice new tower in North Platte. For $6 you can go to the top and get a really great view of the yards and countryside.
I couldn't stay for the Rail Road Days that weekend which looked really interesting.
