1903 Union Pacific Steam Engine 535 was moved on Feb. 7, 2011 from LaBonte Park to Railroad Heritage Park in Laramie, Wyoming. Crews loaded the 75-ton engine onto a flatbed trailer for its trip across town to its new home. The steam engine, UP wedge snowplow 900015, and UP caboose 25232 - the 1950s replica snow train - are on display at Railroad Heritage Park. This Laramie railroad history event and project were made possible by the Laramie Railroad Depot Association and the City of Laramie.
