I don’t know if this has ever been asked or not, and I’m sorry if it has, but have the 844, 3985, and 6936 ever tripleheaded?
The 844 and 3985 were double headed an couple of times but never triple heaed that I am aware of Larry
I know that 844 and 3985 have on at least one excursion or photo Op. But i’m not sure about 6936.
There was one time when 844 and 3985 pulled one train (passenger equipment) and 6936 followed close behind with a second of exhibit locomotives and water tank cars. This was on the way to Sacramento for a Railfair sometime in the mid 1990s; but the exact year escapes me.
I did see 844 double head with Frisco 1522 in early 90’s when NRHS had their convention in St. Louis. That was an awesome sight to see both of them rolling along. 844 was taking 1522 back to our local Museum of Transport after excursions had been ran that week and would drop 1522 off on the way to KC. That’s the only time I’ve seen a double header and it was memorable for me because 1522 was part of it.
Yeah, I went down to that museum when I was about 6. One of the best trips I’ve ever been on.
