It's a once in a lifetime move as Union Pacific transfers much of it's historic railroad equipment from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Silvis, Illinois. Many of these locomotives have not moved in more than 40 years. The move was part of one of the biggest donations in railroad preservation history. Locomotives include...
Challenger #3985, one of the Worlds largest steam locomotives.
DD40AX, Centennial #6936, Worlds largest diesel locomotive.
TTT6, #5511, a 1923, 2102, Santa Fe type steam locomotive.
Ex Amtrak #966B, E9B.
Chicago, Norther western, F unit.

All locomotives and cars will be heading to the massive shop in Silvis, Illinois, owned by Railroading Heritage of Midwest America where most will be overhauled and returned to operating condition. Challenger #3985 will be returned to operation first with #5511 next in line.

The move went smoothly with only some minor oiling issues with the #5511. For more information click link here https://rrhma.com
