(Deseret News, October 24, 1972, with a photo of UP 833 on 400 West; Union Pacific INFO, December 1972, page 13, with photos of the donation ceremony)
3. The cost of the move from Salt Lake City's Pioneer Park, to Ogden was reported as $110,000, which was appropriated by the Utah state legislature as part of the state's support of the state railroad museum being at Ogden Union Station. The move of the 605,000-pound locomotive took place on February 22, 1999, and was done by Intermountain Heavy Haul. (Deseret News, October 12, 1998)

4. UP 4436 was originally a coal-burner and was originally equipped with 4,500 gallon slope-back tender, like the other Class S-5 switchers. At some point after January 1938 and before January 1943, its tender was swapped for a 7,000 gallon Vanderbilt, the type which it currently has. Gordon McCulloh's research suggests that at the time of the tender swap, this engine was also converted to oil fuel. The standard "switching oil tank" (narrowed at the top for visibility) holds 2,420 gallons of oil.
5. UP 4436 worked in Nebraska until the WW II era when it was moved to the Portland, Oregon area; moved to Evanston, Wyoming, after 1949 at the same time that most other steam locomotives were moved east from the Northwestern District; still in operation Evanston as late as October 1957 (likely the last steam locomotive assigned to Evanston); retired by UP in February 1958; donated to City of Ogden, Utah, and displayed with SP 0-6-0 1297 at Affleck Park (display dedicated on July 18, 1959); moved to Ogden Union Station in 1993.

3. This piece of equipment was obtained from Spokane Washington. Built by Alco-Rogers in 1912. It was originally Oregon, Washington Railway & Navigation Company No. 61 and was based out of Pocatello, Idaho. It spent its working life in the Pacific Northwest, and was heavily rebuilt over the years, receiving a new steel carbody and an elevated pilot cab during a major overhaul in 1951, at which time it also was given a large Vanderbilt tender from a scrapped UP 2-10-2. Retired and donated to the museum in 1978, it is preserved as it appeared at the end of its career, with a six-digit UP MOW number (900061), silver carbody, and red blades. It is an oil fired steam powered device with a fuel and water tender. It did not have traction power, which required it to be pushed in front of a locomotive.
