Oil-fired Union Pacific Consolidated No. 264 was one of the very last steam engines in use on the Union Pacific. Even in retirement it has gotten around quite a lot. It was first stored at LaSalle, Colorado, then sold to the Sons of Utah Pioneers, later moved to the Heber Valley Historic Railroad, then finally sold to the Nevada State Railroad Museum and moved to boulder City in 1993.
