Union Pacific Steam Locomotove #833 - a photo on Flickriver

Union Pacific Steam Locomotove #833

            One of a class of steam engines called "Northerns", it was built in 1939.  The driver wheels are over 6 feet in diameter.  This helps the locomotive reach speeds to 110 MPH.  The large smooth metal plates on the front are called "elephant ears".  They direct smoke away from the cab.  High speed locomotives pulled passenger cars, mail, and other high priority freight.  Number 833 was retired in 1957.  

There are only three other Union Pacific locomotives like this left in the world.  This one is located at Union Station Ogden, Utah
