Union Pacific FEF series

984:, coal supplies were limited by a series of strikes. To safeguard operations, UP converted the 800s to burn oil, and fitted a 6,000-US-gallon (23,000 L; 5,000 imp gal) tank in the bunker space. Otherwise, few modifications were needed to ensure years of mainline service. These were the last steam locomotives delivered for the UP. Like many of the "late era" steam locomotives, their final design was cut short by the advent of diesel locomotives, the new monarchs of the rails. A former manager of the Union Pacific Steam Program said, "Although it is stated that the UP FEF Series were designed to safely operate at 120 mph (190 km/h), no one really knows how fast the final 4-8-4 could go. The last FEF-3 was actually never retired." 40: 1187: 1267: 964: 1036: 1109: 971:
Dubbed FEF-2, the second batch of 15 was delivered in 1939. Their improvements included larger cylinders, better tractive effort, smoke deflectors on the sides of the smokebox, and driving wheels that were three inches wider in diameter. The biggest change was the replacement of the 12-wheeled tender

to the leading coupled wheels eased the negotiation of curves. UP resisted most of the complicated accessories on many other locomotives, resulting in an elegant, uncluttered appearance. Despite frequently running faster than 100 mph (161 km/h), the forces and stresses on the coupling and

that were the mainstay of UP passenger operations. One day in 1937, with UP President William Jeffer's business car in the rear, a 7000-class 4-8-2 demonstrated the lack of steaming power inherent in the type. Even as the train was waiting for rescue, a telegram was sent to

Four FEF series locomotives survive. No. 814 (FEF-1) and No. 833 (FEF-2) are on static display. No. 844 (FEF-3) has remained operational and is used in excursion service. No. 838 (FEF-3) is used solely as a source of spare parts for No. 844.

in Schenectady seeking something better. The result was the FEF series, a superb class of locomotives that could run at 100 mph and produce between 4,000 and 5,000 drawbar horsepower. They would run about 14,000 miles a month.

with a 14-wheeled "pedestal" or "centipede" tender. FEF-2, UP 833 has been tied to claims to have hit the classes' max speed of 120 mph; but was not officially recorded due to the speed violating Union Pacific's corporate rules.
