EVANSTON At 105 years of age, little Switch Engine 4420, along with her tender, which held the coal and water, has returned to her home at the Evanston Railyards and Roundhouse.
In 1915, during WWI and the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, 4420 was brought by the Union Pacific Railroad to Evanston a small, 47-year-old community of 3,000 residents.
Over the next 43 years the engine was worked at the railyards, bringing loaded cars to the Roundhouse to be pulled by larger engines to many destinations, and the town grew to be a major railroad community.
Shelly Horne, member of the Evanston Historic Preservation Commission and chair of the sub-committee assigned to the steam engine project, was largely responsible for the success of returning the engine to the Roundhouse. Serving on that committee with Horne were Cindy Wasson, Noni Proffit, John Davis, Jim Davis, Joan Nixon, Wayne Morrow and Rick Eskelson.
Union Pacific 0-6-0 Returns to Evanston Roundhouse
By Railfan & Railroad Staff
EVANSTON, Wyo. A Union Pacific 0-6-0 locomotive has been moved from a city park in Evanston, Wyo., to a restored roundhouse that will become its new home. UP 4420 was moved across town on Dec. 4, by truck and is presently sitting outside the roundhouse. Plans call for the locomotive to eventually be put inside away from the elements.
The locomotive was built by Lima in 1914 and has been on display since 1958. Since the 1990s, the community has been working on turning the UP roundhouse and shop complex in Evanston into a community center and event space. The facility includes a roundhouse built in 1913, a turntable and some support structures. The 4420 was assigned to the Evanston Yard, according to the Uinta County Herald, and will be right at home in the roundhouse. The locomotive was moved with the assistance of Wasatch Railroad Contractors.
