Surviving Sister Engines
A second 4-8-4 of the same class, UP 838, is kept in the shops at Cheyenne, Wyoming as a source of spare parts. It is said that 838's running gear and boiler are in much better condition due to 844's extensive use.
Others include FEF-1 814 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and FEF-2 833 in Ogden, Utah.

“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
