A challenger is a real close slightly smaller version. It has a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement. U.P. has had one of these restored for years. Some of the post's below, I think have mistaking it for a big boy model. There were only 25 big boys made, and none operated by U.P. since they were retired. Maybe moved around for display. They also have the famous 844. The last locomotive ever made for them. It was never retired. I have seen both the 844, and challenger 3985 on numerous occations. Cheyanne Wyoming is U.P.'s home for steam operations and home to these magnificint locomotives. Can't wait to see the Big Boy in operation of excursion.
