Prototype Information:
Union Pacific FEF-3 #844 built in 1944 was the last steam locomotive delivered to the UP. In its heyday, it pulled such trains as the Overland Limited, LA Llimited, Portland Rose and the Challenger. From 1957 to 1959 UP 844 was assigned to freight service..

Built as a joint effort between UP and ALCO, the FEF-3's in this series could safely handle speeds up to 120 mph. On one occasion, one of her sister engines pulled a 1,000 ton passenger train at 100 mph.
