Artist's Description
Union Pacific's UP 844 is seen at track speed at O'Fallon's near Sutherland, Nebraska.
Built in 1944, it was the last steam locomotive delivered to Union Pacific and is the only steam locomotive never to be retired by a North American Class I railroad.
The UP 844 has a wheel configuration of 4-8-4, the drivers have a diameter of 80". This photograph shows the gyrating Mars light just above the headlamp. In 2013, the Mars light was removed due to the mounting bolts failing.
UP 844 is used by Union Pacific for Excursion Service and logs thousands of miles each year.

Hello Karen, glad you like the image as well as the locomotive. It truly is a sight to see. Celebrating their 150th year, Union Pacific put on quite a show - throughout most of the midwest and western states. I visited your artwork yesterday, favorited a few - very impressive work! Looking forward to seeing more - Thanks for your comment. Bill Kesler
