Celebrating her 100th birthday next year. Here she is halfway into her life on the UP. She would be retired 25 years later in 1958 and donated to the State of Utah, sit for 12 years on the state fairgrounds in SLC and then start her second life in 1970 in Heber. Looking at the picture, somewhere in the next 25 years, she'll get a new tender, have the headlight dropped to the middle of the smokebox door, get a new larger dynamo, and have that cylinder cover pulled off of the stack and put back on.

Thanks for the posting Bob.
