The Union Pacific No. 1242 is a class T-57 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" type steam locomotive built in 1890 in the Patterson, NJ, workshops of the Cooke Locomotive & Machine Works (later part of Alco).

It ran on the Walcott-Saratoga-Encampment branch line from 1921 to 1954, when it was retired.

The engine was donated to the City of Cheyenne, WY, in 1955 and is one of the oldest surviving locomotives from the Union Pacific roster.

It is now on display in the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens on Carey Ave not far off Exit 11 on the I-25.
