At the time of this photo, Union Pacific 3985, a Challenger class 4-6-6-4, was the largest operating steam locomotive in existence. This locomotive was donated by Union Pacific to a museum and has been replaced in excursion service by an even larger 4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotive.

Photographed in September 2005 at the UP Albina Yard. Portland, Oregon.

There is a lack of European trains here. This is an empty tank train going south. It's operated by Widmer Rail Service, a private railway operator.

In early May 2023 I embarked on a train journey throughout the eastern US to see what it was like. I really enjoyed my trip and recorded a travel log series for people to check out!
