Description

The old Union Pacific 8444 rolled into Council Bluffs Friday morning on its way from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Omaha. A little out of the way? Well, the 451-ton engine is one of the world's largest operating steam locomotives and had to be turned around in order to get into Ak-Sar-Ben where it will be on display this weekend. The only turntable big enough to handle the 8444 was in Council Bluffs. The 1944 engine will be on display at the Golden Spike Monument in Council Bluffs Oct. 2-3.--Nonpareil photo.
