on display and looking cared for in UP greyhound paint. She looks like she's ready to have a fire in her belly and head out for a fast run at the head of a mail and express train.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

The gray U.P. paint scheme looks really nice on the locomotive. How many of her parts remain with her? I'm guessing she's been a donor of some for 3985?

When #3985 was converted to oil burning in about 1990, the tender was converted using the oil bunker from #3977's tender. I remember reading that other minor parts were swapped in the original restoration of #3985- not sure which ones though.
