Being a former museum worker, it was my duity to gaurd and clean, and somtimes operate these big giants. Old 28 is just one of many i have had the pleasure of. She has seen lots of movies, but has allso seenher share of trouble.

She wasn't used in BTTF 3, but is used extensively in a film called Chattanooga Choo Choo starring that fat guy from the Airport movies and Earthqauke.

This engine made appearances last year in a couple of episodes of "Wild West Tech" on the History Channel, and recently was used in an Aflak commercial (with the duck).  It continues to take passengers for rides weekends spring through fall.
