Shouldn't there be a separate article on the locomotive type (Challenger)? The article is titled for a single locomotive which was one of the type. 18:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

In January 2020 Ed Dickens commented on a Facebook post that UP 3985 is currently retired, due to Union Pacific only having the resources to operate two steam engines at a time; and there are no upcoming plans to return UP 3985 to service. Since it was posted in a closed Facebook group; I recommend updating this page to including that information if a more public news source such as Trains, Railfan and Railroad or other railroad preservation focused articles report the news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xboxtravis7992 ( talk • contribs) 21:10, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

There are several things in the attic that needs to be changed and fixed. First of, in the History section were it takes about the years of it in service, the hyphen's needs to be replaced with the en dash's, examples: "Revenue service and retirement (1943-1957)" and "Restoration and excursion career (1981-2010)" to "Revenue service and retirement (1943–1957)" and "Restoration and excursion career (1981–2010)". Additionally, the source that says the year the engine was restored is correct, but the source doesn't say what month it was restored in, therefore it should just say and be kept as 1981. Even the "Restoration and excursion career" info in the History section also says April 1981, that one also needs to be changed to 1981, according to the source. 70.88.207.142 ( talk) 20:57, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Another edit that hasn’t been changed yet is the info of it’s first run in 1981. It says "April 1981 (excursion service)" were it should say "1981 (excursion services)", because again, the source doesn’t say what month it was restored in, it just says 1981. 173.13.73.146 ( talk) 13:51, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

The other part that doesn’t have an en dash is the "Restoration and excursion career (2010-present)" it’s hyphen needs to be replaced with an en dash, as shown here: "Restoration and excursion career (2010-present)" to "Restoration and excursion career (2010–present)"
P.S. Also now that a source is found on the month the engine was restored in, the "First run" info in the infobox should be changed to "1981 (excursion service)" to "March 1981 (excursion service)". 70.88.207.142 ( talk) 20:07, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

3985 will be back in steam once it gets its tender back and make 4014 have its tender back by converting a new set of oil.
In an E-mail sent out by Union Pacific, it seems that #3985 has been donated to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America along with 2-10-2 #5511, DDA40X #6936, and numerous other pieces of equipment. I feel it would be appropriate to add this new information to the article when possible.
Union Pacific also put this out on their official website: https://www.up.com/media/releases/challenger-3985-donation-nr-220428.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pepsi Doggo ( talk • contribs) 19:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
