Description
Railroad Short Name: UP
During the 1980s, two ex-“Big Blow” Turbine Tenders were assigned to the UP steam program for water service. Outwardly, they appeared almost identical to their Super Turbine days but each tender had distinctly different water connections and plumbing which is captured on the models.  Both tenders operated regularly with FEF #844/#8444 and Challenger #3985 in excursion service. In 2003, they were renumbered.
