Chicago and North Western 4-6-0 1385 is a 1907-built Alco 4-6-0 steam locomotive. The R-1 "Ten Wheeler" operated for C&NW in freight service into the 1950s. The 1385 has been a core piece of the collection of the Mid-Continent Railway Museum in North Freedom, WI since 1961, operated regularly on the MCRY until 1998. The C&NW locomotive was also utilized by the Chicago & North Western on mainline trips and tours in the 1980s, including leading the Circus World Museum's Circus Train.
Footage from 1998 provided by Jeff Terry. This would be some of the final runs the locomotive would make before going down for rebuild. The 1385 is still undergoing a through restoration to full operation, information in the comments.
Additional footage of the Circus Train is used from the Berkshire Productions program "Montage Series 2", with the opening shot from "Snow Train."
