Title Union Pacific Locomotive #833
Contributors Salt Lake City, Utah
Image Captions Steam Locomotive #833 was built in October 1939 by the American Locomotive Company for Union Pacific as a class FEF-2 passenger engine. She is balanced for regular running at 90 miles per hour, but officially hit 110 miles per hour in a test and unofficially hit 120 mph (a speed that high was against company rules). The 833 ran between Ogden and Cheyenne. It was originally built with a single stack, but was modified sometime during its career with a double stack. It was removed from service in 1957. After being removed from the books in 1962 she was kept in Cheyenne for “historical purposes” until it was decided to donate the locomotive to Salt Lake City in 1972 for display in Pioneer Park. It was delivered in August 1972, and dedicated on October 25. Salt Lake transferred ownership of the locomotive to the Utah State Railroad Museum in 1999, and the 833 was moved by truck in February of that year.
