I’m so glad the engines are kept looking shiny and new. History is important to preserve

That EMD E9 is absolutely gorgeous. The E series locomotives are my absolute favorite...I had a model railroad as a kid with EMD locos. Beautiful!

I grew up next to a Union Pacific train yard but nothing like this. This is Awesome ! Thanks for sharing.

That 949 is a real beauty, and I'm glad they were able to put the steam engines in the building, too!

Looks like you were there on the Sunday. I was there on the Saturday when the weather wasn’t nearly as pleasant. But, having made the trip all the way from Australia for this event, I wasn’t going to let a freezing cold, wet miserable day (certainly by Sydney standards) get in the way. Seeing all these iconic UP locomotives up close was a childhood dream come true for me. Hope to make it back again soon to see 4014 in steam rather than in pieces. Thanks for posting this video. It’s a great supplement to my photos.

Thanks for making this without annoying music and silly narrative. A real railfan doesn't need that nonsense. Just show me the shop and the trains. This was almost better than going there because I could relax in my easy chair and play the parts I missed over again. 👍👍👍

Wonderful video. You went slow enough,so that someone like me, with low vision, could focus on your wonderful shots. Thanks.

Last time I was here, I delivered 4 new traction motors for EMD locomotives. Got to have a free lunch their on the 4th of July. A nice young lady served me the best BBQ chicken I have ever had and the tator salad would knock your socks off. UP has some great cooks with their staff.

Sharing your video Nick! I have walked around here many times years past! I am truly blessed indeed and thankful for our USA 🇺🇸 and Cheyenne Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 history! WhoootWhooooot! Gold Spike family too ! UP8444 and 4004 was my old play ground set in Cheyenne Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 1960 and 70’s a Cold War

Great video. Long elaborate and detailed shots of those magnificent locomotives enables one to think how it all fits together. The Galaxy S9 plus on the smooth gimbal does a great job. Looking forward to seeing all those locomotives on the rails again. Thanks for posting.

Fascinating thank you I like the slow moving cam guy very good for pause and zoom

Thank you

It’s amazing how much the 3985 has rusted since it’s last ride in 2010.

The camera in my LG G-8 really makes this video almost 3-D.UNREAL!. Excellent video!!.

Nothing like the Union Pacific color scheme, that's why I chose to model it in HO scale.

I like how you take your time with your panning on this video. What a yellow B-E-A-U-T-Y! Looks like the internet train.

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

Union Pacific has a fine collection of old locomotives and cabooses. It is too bad that I am as far as in the Northeast unable to be in the roundhouse. Also, it was nice to see that those locomotives are in pristine condition. Nick, you did a very nice video catch of the inside of Union Pacific, even though several areas were closed to touring.

UP should cosmetically restore CNW 401 and that Rock Island Caboose and send them to the museum in Oelwein IA. Would be better there getting some attention than none at all sitting in the hot Cheyenne Sun

Optimal Information without stupid narration! Thanks, from Germany

DD40X 6600 horsepower two 645 V-16 E3 engines on a common under frame, E-9 last built in the early 60's two V-12 567D engines 2400 total horsepower, Challenger 4-6-6-4 3985 soft coal burning originally now burns bio diesel or diesel fuel, 6500 horsepower and finally the Big Boy 4-8-8-4 originally soft coal burning now burns oil exactly like the challenger, 7000 horsepower one of 25 locomotives built and the only one of 8 remaining to be rebuilt to service. The other big boys will remain static displays. When I ran Amtrak trains in the mid 70's we had two ex UP E-9's that were regular power on the Montrealer from New Haven, Connecticut to Montreal, Canada equipped with two 645 engines and the electrical systems were completely rebuilt by the UP still equipped with two ok 2225 steam generators. They were in far batter condition then the other E-8's and a Few E-7's we had. Geared for 117 mph they were great locomotives, approaching Hartford, Ct. One morning had an alarm bell sound off, I went back to see what was wrong and found three of the 4 engines dead, out of fuel. I immediately killed both steam generators then hightailed it to the cab to tell the engineer we had to stop and run for fuel with the engines or we were going to run out. Where he asked? Hartford tower I replied and back through the tunnel into the freight yard then the fuel pad. The last engine died just as we rolled onto the fuel pad at 10 mph. After fueling and refilling both engines with water went back onto the main and went back to our train hooked up turned the steam back on and when we stopped at Hartford station the car department was there with number 50 size propane burners to thaw out the ice from the condensate drains. Having 18 cars it took close to an hour before heat was restored to the entire train. We found out several days later the Central Vermont railroad failed to fuel and water her the night she ran out. We normally arrived at New Haven around 5 AM, that morning we didn't get to New Haven till after 10 AM. It was an interesting and cold night ( -5 below zero ) and the E units heat the cab with steam from the steam heat line. Seeing as the UP now uses 480 volt 3 phase electricity to supply heat light and air conditioning to the train I suspect cab heat is now provided from the low voltage system on the locomotive.

Very nicely done! Hope to visit on my own some day. Thank you.

Nice footage.

Hermosas Maquinas, gracias por compartir.

They need to restore those steamers Such grace and glory

That turbine locomotive looks good from the outside. The last time I saw the inside it looked like a tornado hit it

Would somebody shut that kid up! Sheesh, take it outside.

Update as of 2022 UP 5511, Challenger 3985, DDA40X 6936 and other equipment will be donated to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America non profit based in the old NRE shops in Silvis Illinois. Go to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America’s site to find out more.

Thought I saw a faded Chicago and Northwestern "Executive" F unit in this clip. I had seen a video of these units being towed in a Union Pacific freight not long after C&NW became part of Union Pacific. Some were scrapped, I think. What a shame. They should've kept them all. Wonder what became of the unit on the lot? Hope it wasn't being cannibalized as a parts engine. Once those classics are gone - they're gone!

super video. thanks for posting your time spent there. So do they do tours every day or only on certain days? I would love to get there and ya that is a full day trip. but I am from Ontario, Canada. so it will be a bit of a drive to get there. any place I can find more information on the tours. days open to public. days they think some of the loco's will be running under their own power?

That's Harley's Quinn new home from her friends Abandoned where the joker & Harley leaves After, Before they broke .They also can use 1 of U.P. Trains to give to DC comics GIFT running on Special only for fans, VIP's

Awesome tour! Please tell em they’re restoring the steam engines.

Nice job. Seeing some of the greatest locomotives ever built! And in the same roundhouse! DDA40X! 3985! 5511! 838! And E9As 951& 949! Are they restoring 838 and 5511 to run again?!

I wonder if Steve ever visits the depot from time to time even in retirement

What a second where was the 844 at the time I didn’t see it in the round house

I wish 3985 was running

Wait! What if you have big boy 4014 at the front and then behind it would be the dda40x and then the rest of the train and finally the modern loco at the back. Most powerful steam, most powerful diesel behind steam, train, today diesel like past to present

Do you think the Challenger will get well soon and be back in service now that they got Big Boy restoration finished?

Got a question folks can you explain when and why the silver trucks came to be tia?

Old Union Station train depot raid the gas plant in is the oooooz the engine still moves today

I like That big tanker hook up to that red boxcar does any 1 know,what it is used for.

UP has another FEF #838 hint to another #844 tipe loco sweet consists?

The car that is labeled UP 903029. What type of car is it?

why dont they use 6936 more often? parts?

That tender looks like it came off A gas turbine locomotive

2:09 is that a GTE tender

Why does up not run 6936 and the stream liners anymore?

Isn't 3985 undergoing maintenance for a cracked boiler? And if so...any ides when it will be back on the rails?

What's wrong with the dd40x 6936 why aren't they using her?

What’s the story with the CNW F7 sitting

Wander if the challenger will ever be put back on the rails

It’s sad to see how 3985 is now :( looks so sad because 4014 stole its parts. 5511 and 838 also should be restored.

Has UP ever thought of restoring 2-10-2 5511

Will 5511 ever move again?

Any possibility for the Challenger 3985 to be restored?

I wonder why UP 6936 Centennial hasn't run lately.

2:25 why is there a tender connected to a boxcar?

Is 6936 still operational?

Those trains can move their not that old

Up 3most unappreciated steam engines 3985 5511 and 838

This is why I rather than Museum make the video not the tourist, because the tourist focuses too much on random things without giving any detail, because they can't, while spending as much time filming to keep it as a memory not actually as a documentation. The museum on the other hand has to document everything and keep it short to 10 or 15 minutes, which means that only the most important highlights are going to be talked about, it also means you're not going to get the person use filming focusing on single random areas or focusing on the same area for longer than 15 seconds. This is the problem with somebody's vacation video that they filmed at the Museum, then uploaded on KZfaq and then upload. On KZfaq nobody cares about that shit. They'd rather see the actual videos by the museum then by people walking through it, however the same cannot be said when somebody is riding one of these trains and filming it.

Like train american

the 3985 will be restored

I turned the video off because I didn't want to hear that dam kid no more....

Will somebody shut the kid up, or punch his mom. SMH

this sucks
