Union Pacific Railroad’s legendary steam locomotive No. 844 is traveling back to its home base in Cheyenne, Wyo., after visiting New Mexico and Arizona on a tour celebrating both of those states’ centennials and railroad heritage. A rare opportunity to witness history as No. 844 celebrates railroad heritage as it travels from Cheyenne to New Mexico and Arizona and back to Cheyenne. Union Pacific Railroad’s long history helped lay the foundation for America's current and future freight transportation needs. The safe and efficient operation of trains over Union Pacific's 32,000-mile network benefits everyone. Freight rail service continues to grow, helping to build a cleaner environment. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, freight trains are nearly four times more fuel efficient than trucks. Motorists also benefit when goods move by rail from reduced congestion on highways as a single Union Pacific train can remove up to 300 trucks off our roads. The train makes its way through the area on Mon., November 28 Ogden, Utah to Rock Springs, Wyo. then on Tues., November 29 Rock Springs, Wyo., to Cheyenne, Wyo.
