Union Pacific No. 3910 renumbered as #3710.

Union Pacific No. 3710 was a 4-6-6-4 "Challenger" type steam locomotive, built by the American Locomotive Company in 1936 for the Union Pacific Railroad and originally #3910 and later to #3810.

It was used for freight service on the Union Pacific Railroad, but it was occasionally used on passenger service as well.

In 1959, it was withdrawn from active service and later the same year, the locomotive was quickly cut up for scrap.

Trivia[]
