Pacific Locomotive
Is the Union Pacific Steam locomotive 844 a passenger train, and if not are any steam locomotives in the USA?
UP's 844 is a high speed passenger locomotive. It was delivered to the UP in 1944. After 1960 UP kept her in service making special occasion runs. Around 2001 844 was pulled out of service for a major overhaul. She has been running since 2005.
UP has another famous steamer in service, Challenger 3985. This articulated monster has a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement. It was delivered to the UP in 1943 and was used to haul fast freight. At about 900,000 pounds, 3985 cruised at about 70MPH, occasionally pulling passenger trains. It used to burn coal, but UP converted it to oil. After it was retired in the late 50's, it sat in storage until it was restored by UP employees, who volunteered their time. 3985 ran again after 1981.
There are many other operating steam locomotives in the United States. Milwaukee Road's 261 operates out of Minneapolis. Illinois Railway Museum has several steamers under restoration. Steamtown in northeatern Pennsylvania obviously runs steam. Southern Pacific's 4449 is running out west. Grand Canyon Railroad operates steam, but I think it is being rebuilt right now. Motive power is provided by Alco PA's, which are a treat to see, too.
