steamlocomotive.info →Back Union Pacific RR 4-8-4 No. 844 Cheyenne, WY, United States Location: UP Engine House Status: Operational Posted: Jan 12, 2008 @ 20:01:08 by 1293 844 was the last engine built for the UP. It is the only steam locomotive that hasn't been retired by a first class mainline railroad. Posted: Aug 2, 2003 @ 21:08:31 by Brian Oxee 844 has been out of service for the last 5 years. Down for restoration and the slow work process doesn't help the situation. She'll most likely be back in serivice in 2005 or 2006 Posted: May 16, 2003 @ 17:05:57 by Bob This engine has never been pulled out of service since it was built! It also helped a frieght train where one of the diesels stalled in 1996. Bringing a back-up diesel would take hours so 844 pushed the "modern diesels" back to the shops.
