Union Pacific 4012, Steam locomotive at Steamtown National Historic Site, United States
The Union Pacific 4012 steam locomotive stands 132 feet long, weighs 1.2 million pounds, and features a 4-8-8-4 wheel configuration for mountain operations.
Built in November 1941 by the American Locomotive Company of Schenectady, New York, this locomotive served freight routes between Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Ogden, Utah until 1962.
The locomotive represents a period when steam engines transformed American transportation, enabling efficient freight movement across mountainous western territories.

The locomotive generated 7,000 horsepower and maintained 300 pounds per square inch boiler pressure while operating through steep mountain passes.
