UP Northern, FEF-3 4-8-4 No 844 at shops in Cheyenne WY (scan from calendar)
In October and November 2011 FEF-3 4-8-4 No 844 made a marathon tour of the West, ostensibly to celebrate the entry of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. The itinerary was as follows, Cheyenne, Denver, Trinidad, Dalhart, El Paso, Tucson Yuma, San Bernardino, Salt Lake City, and Cheyenne. On the afternoon prior to departure for Denver, UP’s last built Northern stands outside the former diesel shop where it resides alongside ‘Challenger” 4-6-6-4 No 3985.
