The engine was finally being closed down for the day. And me, my Dad, another railfan decided to walk up and take pictures of the engine. We were then invited into the cab!!! And just in time to. The maintenance crew needed the engineer to scoot the 3985 forward about 10 feet to grease a bearing that was blocked. It wasn't much of a ride but I had never been more excited in my life! Special thanks to the UP steam program. Especially, my idol, engineer Ed Dickens.
