Steam & Excursion > Three From the Nolan Black Collection

Here's three shots from the Nolan Black collection. He was my Dad, but sometimes, he was a little shaky on his dates. Hopefully, these are right.

1. FEF-1 class 4-8-4 809 hustles westbound #1 through Peru, Wyoming in this 1948 shot.

2. 4-6-6-4 Challenger class 3938 hustles westbound tonnage near Hanna, Wyoming. July, 1947.

3. FEF-1 class 4-8-4 814 poses for a photographer named Trout at Denver Union Station. Not sure what #18 was. February, 1950.

Thank you for looking, and please check out the next three images in the next post.

Agreed!

We don't get to see shots of UP FEF-1 locomotives , especially without the smoke wings. Thanks for sharing.

To be correct, the UP referred to them as "Wind Wings" (and that is what the drawings show), and NOT smoke wings. Smoke deflectors, or elephant ears, were common on other railroads.
