One thought on “1385 in August 1987”

  1. Fred Crissey filmed this ten-wheeled steam locomotive en route from Council Bluffs to Ames, Iowa, back in the summer of 1986. His silent film of #1385 is featured on the C Vision video, Classic Chicago & North Western, Volume 2. This video does not, unfortunately, have the natural sound of this locomotive.
