Steam Specials In The Heartland - a DVD from Yard Goat Images Three exciting chapters featuring four steam locomotives operating on special excursions: Union Pacific 3985 & The Missouri River Eagle - in September and October, 2010, UP brought out the largest operating steam locomotive in the world, Challenger 3985, to pull a train called The Missouri River Eagle. Our story of this one-time special starts in North Platte, Nebraska, the home of UP's giant Bailey Yard. We present the special as it makes its way across the Heartland as far east as St. Louis, Missouri, with major stops in Marysville, KS, Kansas City, MO, Jefferson City, MO, and Sedalia, MO before returning to North Platte. One of the main events was helping Sedalia celebrate the town's 150th anniversary. You will enjoy incredible trackside action as the mighty 4-6-6-4 roars across three states. See close up views as the locomotive moves slowly past our cameras, the engine being serviced, and some of the great sights along the way. Milwaukee Road 261 To Duluth - after its first restoration to operating condition, we enjoyed accompanying 261 during its 15-year string of excursions starting in 1993. Most of those years it pulled a two-day Spring Special from the Twin Cities to Duluth, MN. In this feature we present highlights from a number of those trips and arrange them to illustrate what a weekend ride with the 4-8-4 Northern was like. We even show scenes from a rare trip 261 made on the North Shore Scenic line ...
