Steam & Excursion > The mighty 800's doublehead a train through Eaton, Colorado.Date: 02/10/19 06:40 The mighty 800's doublehead a train through Eaton, Colorado. Author: tolland Northbound through Eaton in the late 1930's, these two UP 800 locomotives are hauling. I don't have an exact date because Art had all his negatives in a shoebox with no organization to them. This train appears to be gathering speed, headed upgrade after the Greeley station stop 10 miles south of Eaton.

Regardless cool shot and enjoy these early ones. Greg Scholl Date: 02/10/19 07:12 Re: The mighty 800's doublehead a train through Eaton, Colorado.

------------------------------------------------------- > FEF 1 vs FEF 3 too If this photo was in the late 1930s, the 800 in the rear would be a FEF-2 series, which looks likely by the sand dome shape. FEF-3 were not built until 1944. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/10/19 11:12 by Superstock. Date: 02/10/19 13:18 Re: Pac Ltd Author: timz Looks like train 221 didn't exist until 1941. Didn't last long?
Date: 02/10/19 22:51 Re: Pac Ltd Author: A-1 How many FEF-1s had centipede tenders? I assume they were all built with three axle trucks and received larger tenders later on?

tenders from scrapped engines? Date: 02/11/19 16:48 Re: Pac Ltd Author: GMUP Five FEF-1s got retired Centipedes when their original tenders became Turbine Fuel tenders. (801, 804, 805, 808 & 814)
