Review of Articulateds UP 3985 and N&W Class A 1218 DVD

 5 of 5 (1)
Challenger #3985 -vs- Class 'A' #1218

Which is the biggest? The most powerful? Which is the best locomotive?

This program gives all the answers and is sure to stimulate many discussions. Perhaps the real winner is the railfan who can still see and hear both giants.

Part 1: A very clear comparison of the specifications and technical differences andsimilarities between the two giants.

Part 2: 3985 on fantrip from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Laramie and return. Features cab ride, pacing and trackside scenes.
