USA steam locomotive. 833 FEF Class 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive
My father took this photo when Mum & Dad toured the USA in the 1970s. I did not know where or exactly when the photograph was taken. I also knew nothing about the locomotive’s identity other than it was a Union Pacific locomotive numbered 833.
I asked for help with the location and the identity of the locomotive and received a comprehensive reply from Fraser Pettigrew. See his comments and links below. The photos was taken at Pioneer Park, Salt Lake City and is of a FEF-2 Class 4-8-4 locomotive built by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1939.
