Commemorative Locomotives
A very rare honor, Union Pacific has created only 16 commemorative locomotives in its more than 150 year history.
Our Heritage
Through the years, a series of mergers helped Union Pacific create the strongest franchise in North America. Union Pacific pays homage to those railroads, and the generations of men and women who helped to build a great nation, and the foundation for our future.
