*About this show:* Valhalla Video Productions paired with The Denver Post to run the 1996 Cheyenne Steam Train, from Cheyenne to Denver and back. This is the Official Video! We'll see 4-6-6-4 Challenger 3985 with Centennial 6936 run Denver to Cheyenne. Then we see 3985 run doubleheaded with 4-8-4 Northern number 844 to Denver and back! This is the trip where these two Union Pacific locomotives doubleheaded the entire way!
As a bonus, we'll see the 1994 maiden trip for Union Pacific's beautiful matched set of corporate E9s. This is right after a shopping and restoration for the three E9s.
What we have here is some amazing vintage footage of two vintage steam locomotives, three vintage diesels, and a giant DDA40X.
