Jonathan Vincent	General	Missy and Jim. 844 is not a Big Boy. Nor is it anywhere near the largest, by any measure. We'll not get into the whole "largest steam loco" discussion here. The 844 is a 4-8-4 "Northern". It IS famous for being the only Mainline steam locomotive to have never been retired, being on UP's active roster it's whole life. It's still a beautiful locomotive, even if it's not the biggest.	2/1/2012 3:50:44 PM

UP 844 Northern and UP 6936 Centinal at Union Station
This is a rare look for us to see thse 2 units side by side. Also take note of the Amtrak 30 P42DC right next to it. I didn't list AMTK 33 to the lcoo list on this picture becasue it wasn't the subject and I didn't get it in the angle of this subject.
