Union Pacific 844 or UP 844 is a 4-8-4 steam locomotive owned by Union Pacific Railroad. It is unique in that it is the only steam locomotive never retired by a North American Class I railroad. It is now used on excursion trains.
From 1962-1989, this locomotive was numbered UP 8444 due to a conflict with the railroad's numbering plan for the EMD GP30 locomotives that UP owned at the time. After the conflicting GP30 was retired from service in June 1989, 8444 was renumbered back to 844.
