Detailed Information
FEF-2 FEATURES
There were three classes of 4-8-4 steam locomotives on the UP. UP 820-834 were built in 1939 as coal burners with 80-inch drivers and full 7 axle centipede tenders. The first conversion to oil started with 807 on March 10, 1946. Originally this was in response to the threat of a coal strike, but it enabled the FEFs to run for the first time down the oil burning South Central District to Los Angeles over Cajon Pass. All the FEFs were converted to oil by the end of 1946.
UP began to paint passenger steam locomotives into a two tone gray paint during 1946. Red emergency MARS lights were added in 1947.
