An interesting sidebar about the Union Pacific is they are the only RR I
am aware of that still owns and regularly operates some of it's own,
original steam engines on a regular basis, on excursions and occasionally
in actually "revenue" service. All of the other operating steam engines I
am aware of are owned and operated by museums (I used to have a video of
the UP's "Challenger" articulated locomotive-one of the biggest Steam
locomotives that was ever made-pulling a 150 car train over Sherman Hill
outside of Cheyenne, Wyoming by itself in the mid 1990's)
