This scene was the last run of a train called the "Gay Local". It hauled ore from the Gay mine east of Fort Hall, Idaho to FMC, west of Pocatello. The CA-11 caboose was the last one in service in the area and was used for switch lining purposes on the main line. The switch had to be lined back to the main when the rear of the train cleared the switch. The Gay mine was closed, hence the last run of the Gay local.

The Alco built 4-8-8-4 locomotives were known as one of the largest in the world. An employee of Alco wrote "Big Boy" on the side of a smoke box and the name stuck.

"8444 at Pocatello"

$Sold

Limited Edition Prints
Double Matted to16x20

This 4-8-4 Northern type locomotive was built by Alco in 1944. The "800's" were fast and powerful locomotives. These engines were designed to sustain a speed of 90 mph while pulling a 1,000 ton passenger train.
I was inspired to do this drawing by a photograph that I took of this impressive locomotive in May of 1989 at Pocatello. Not long after this scene the 4-8-4 was changed back to its' original number 844.

"Assault on
Sherman Hill "

Original Pencil 13x19
$Sold

Limited Edition Prints
Double Matted to 16x20
$59.00

Union Pacific's mighty gas-turbine or "Big Blows" as they were nicknamed, were an impressive workhorse. Capable of turning out 8,500 H. P., they were used extensively on the heavily graded and busy Cheyenne-Ogden routes. These turbine engines were also a benefit because they used Bunker fuel oil, which at the time was much more cost effective than diesel. However as fuel technology improved it brought about the demise of yet another great giant from UP's past. Here the number 26 is seen hard at work over Sherman Hill. The number 26 has been permanently parked at the Union Station Depot Museum in Ogden Utah.

In the summer of 1971 an F-9 locomotive, nick named the Covered Wagon, emerges from a tunnel near Morgan, Utah. The drawing based on a photo by Keith Ardinger, showing an F- unit in service near the end of its career.

These F-units, particularly the FT's were instrumental in the change from steam locomotives to diesel. However, more technologically advanced locomotives have also replaced these Covered Wagons.
