UP 3977 4-6-6-4 Challenger (starboard)
Title:  UP 3977 4-6-6-4 Challenger (starboard)
Description:  UP 3977 4-6-6-4 Challenger (bagged and stuffed, but according to the sign, the only one of its class on display in the world). The folks that restored the unit did a great job and provided access to the cab along with the great choice not to surround this wonderful piece of history with fences or other items that wouldve detracted... of course, my only whine was how close everything was packed so getting far enough away with only a 24mm lens was a bit of a challenge.

Title:  UP 3977 portside
Description:  UP 3977 portside view from behind the cab looking forward... and since the sun had finally come out (now that I didnt need the extra stops of exposure!) the harsh shadows suggest maybe there is a need for HDR in the world (although without it, Id never know).

UP X3977
Title:  UP X3977
Description:  Next stop was Cody Park, where UP X3977 and UP 6922 are on display. UP X3977 is 1 of 2 UP Challengers that are still left today, the other being UP 3985, which is undergoing overhaul at Cheyenne. The only other steam locomotives on the UP roster were the Big Boys, which the Challengers actually shaped for the last 3 orders. These 4-6-6-4 beasts were mainly used on freight service, but were assigned to some passenger moves as well. A total of 105 were built between 1936 and 1944, and ceased to operate in the late 1950s.
