- In the midst of the Union Pacific Railroad's modern operations is their commitment to preserving the past while serving the future with the historic steam locomotive program.
Located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, steam locomotive number 844 has had an exciting career. You see, it is the only operating steam locomotive in the United States that has never been retired since it was built in 1944.
Come join the steam crew with scenes of the 844 from factory delivery to the present date operation. You will see scenes of these magnificent machines working the high iron of the Union Pacific mainlines.
Over the years, this video & another depicting the history UP 3985 were updated periodically with newer narration & additional sections over a few year span, beginning in the early 1990s. This being the 1997 version of this show, with updated narration & additional sections.
This tape was scripted by the late Bob Krieger, steam crew engineer, narrated by Bill Waldrop, and edited and produced by the Union Pacific Steam Crew and Gandy Dancer Productions

That assist is one of the most awesome things!
Yep the only steam engine that wasn't retired
It was really interesting seeing the 844 being overhauled. These big steamers have so many intricate parts and that was amazing.
It's too bad scenes like this likely won't happen again like they did in these days, the 80's and 90's were the best decades for steam this country has ever seen.
Christmas Eve 1944, the never retired locomotive #844 rolls out of the shops of The American Locomotive Company in Schenectady, New York for today's Union Pacific Railroad.
Very enjoyable documentary about the operation history of the UP 844, that "two tone grey" paint scheme looks fantastic on the 844 & I would love to see it repainted into that paint scheme again in the future. The 844 is an excellent superstar representative of the classic era of Union Pacific rr steam power.
Yeah! I agree!
I seem to remember reading that the two tone grey was dropped cuz it was a nightmare to keep clean. I agree though - gorgeous.
I wish big boys are greyhounds like 4024
Having an n scale 8444 I love this video thanks

3:12 Bill Waldrop: The 800 class locomotives were designed to maintain speads of 110 miles per hour. At Jacinto, Nebraska, one 800 class locomotive was recorded at a spead 124 miles per hour, pulling a fast limited passenger train.
You don’t freaking say?
It's been at least 12 or 13 yrs ago I'd say when I saw 844 roll through Hallsville Texas at nearly 80mph... Waaaaaaay faster than any other train I've ever saw
Long Live #844!
Very nice documentary. I do hope it will run again one day, although according to someone who visited the steam shops recently, it was said that 844 will not run again "for the foreseeable future".
During April of 2022, the Rocky Mountain Club invited Ed Dickens of the UP Steam Crew to the Clubs show in Denver, Colorado. When the 844 was brought up as a Q&A, Ed said they were actually planning on running 844 this year, but decided against it. The reason was because Ed and the crew want UP 4014 to tour the rest of the system, and then after that, they will balance running both locomotives. The video of the show is called "UP 4014 Update 2022". Plus, 844s last 1472 overhaul was in 2016, so the locomotive should still be in good condition and have lots of time to run before 2031.
@@regularguy7266 I do hope so. Especially because the 80th birthday is next year. I also heard that the E9s won’t run again for the foreseeable future either.
I partially came for 32:35.

Wait who made these documentarys
Gandy Dancer Productions produced this documentary
3:20 this claim is a total lie. 124mph in a 4-8-4 that’s not streamlined, bullshit to the highest degree. Whoever maid that claim was just salty that a Pacific was able to reach 126MPH, and MALLARD’s speed was actually recorded on a dynamometer car. There’s no proof of a UP FEF doing 124mph ever, let alone 120.
Proof that it's a lie?
