 Besides photography, I enjoy video taping trains. For the most part, I have used a Sony 8mm Camcorder, but some of the early clips were shot with a old RCA video camera and portable recorder. We now use a digital camcorder, which provides better quality video. You must have either the free RealVideo Player or Windows Media Player installed on your computer to view these clips. I provide the file size of each clip to help you determine which file you wish to download to view. The larger the file size, the better the quality, but the longer the download time.
On September 16, 1989, the Union Pacific ran an excursion train featuring the 844 from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Denver, Colorado and return.
In May of 1994, the Union Pacific celebrated the anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad by running the Challenger, #3985 from Council Bluffs Iowa, to Ogden Utah.
On June 15, 2002, the Union Pacific operated an excursion train from West Chicago, Illinois to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and back.
The 261 ran on a excursion trip from Chicago to Galesburg, IL and back on June 22, 2002.
