History[]

Union Pacific No. 421, originally built by Burnham, Williams & Co. (an early incarnation of Baldwin Locomotive Works) in 1901 as #1641, was one of 58 "Consolidation" type (2-8-0) locomotives. It was renumbered to the Class 420 series in 1915, becoming #421, and was eventually converted from a Vauclain compound to a simple expansion engine. After a conversion to oil burning in 1924, it ended its revenue service in Pocatello, Idaho, and was saved from scrap to be placed on display in Fairbury, NE.
