Re: UP 844 on the BNSF!

In my view, UP steam is in about its 145th. year. B&O might have had steam first, but
UP has boiled water every year since day 1. 844 is by far the only locomotive that has operated continuously and not been retired by its owner or successor company. In 1974 its excursion service passed its revenue service (15 years). Is Sierra 3 the oldest locomotive not retired (operational or under repair) and still with its original purchaser?
