Howard Fogg UPP 209 304 From Boiler Baggage Dormitory 304 in 1987; assigned to steam program in 1990; remodeled to Power Car UPP 209 in 1992; named "Howard Fogg" in 1997

Description:

Length, Over Buffers, Coupled: 85'-0"
Length, Over Coupler Pulling Faces: (not shown)
Length, Over End Sills: 82'-7"
Length, Inside:
Truck Centers: 59'-6"
Truck Style: one 6 wheel truck (11'-0" wheelbase), one 4 wheel truck (9'-0" wheelbase)

General Notes:

a. UPP 209 named "Howard Fogg" in memory of the renowned artist Howard Fogg who painted hundreds of paintings of Union Pacific subjects. Mr. Fogg died on October 1, 1996, and said on several occasions that he never tired of completing paintings of Union Pacific's famous Big Boy steam locomotives.
b. Since being assigned to the steam program, the car's configuration has been extensively modified, both mechanically and its interior space. In 1993, the 5,000 gallon water tank used for the steam generator was removed, and a John Deere diesel-powered generator set (removed from Inspection Car "Idaho") was installed in its place. Fuel and water capacity was installed to allow the car to power itself and six or seven others. The steam generator is used on a regular basis to furnish steam to speed up a re-firing of the steam locomotives. In 1997, an additional Caterpillar diesel generator set was installed, and during 2004-2005, additional water and fuel capacity was installed. The car has two washer and dryer sets for crew members, and the additional water and fuel capacity will improve their usability. In 1993, two of the original five dormitory rooms were combined to serve as storage space for the adjacent concession car. This space has just recently been converted to a crew break area, and includes table and chairs, sink, coffee maker, microwave oven, lockers, and a refrigerator. The lost storage space will be made up by moving the concession items to another car. The other three dormitory rooms were stripped of their original six bunks, and one was converted to an office, which also contains a bed. The other two were changed to contain only a single bed in each room. The original steward's room, adjacent to the original baggage section, was converted for use as a mechanical room, and is at times also used as a crew luggage area. Planned for the near future (as of September 2007) is a swap of the odd truck configuration of a single six axle truck and a single four axle truck, to a pair of matching matching six axle trucks.
