Long a piece of rusting playground equipment at Rawlins, Wyoming, here's UP (Oregon Short Line) 533 at Salt Lake City, in April, 1931:

And the 561, today in somewhat better condition, but unsheltered, at Columbus, Nebraska, here at Pocatello, January 30, 1934:

Their ideal home? The fully-intact UP roundhouse at Evanston, Wyoming, where they were once maintained. The city, however, has other plans for the structure - a municipal office complex..
