Union Pacific #3985 Visits Milwaukee on June 15, 16 2002.
On Fathers Day Weekend in June 2002 the Union Pacific Challenger #3985 made two visits to Milwaukee, WI.  These visits were part of Round trip excursions from Chicago, IL.  Both of the days trips were completely sold out.  The weather was great both days which lead to some very nice photos.  Enjoy the shots.  Keith Schmidt
This was our first sighting of the Challenger at Hwy ML. Just south of Kenosha, WI on Saturday June 15, 2002.
The big Challenger eases its way southbound just North of Potter Road just west of Hwy 100.  The bridge in the background is over Watertown Plank Road.  June 15, 2002

Sunday morning the Challenger steams just south of Russell Road in Illinois. June 16, 2002
UP #3985 steams out of what is the only tunnel in the Milwaukee area.  The train has just passed under the intersection of Hwy 100 and Bluemound Rd.  June 16, 2002
