The Union Pacific 535 steam engine, built in 1903 and retired in the late 1950s, moved for the first time in more than 50 years on Monday morning.
Its wheels never spun and the engine didn’t start — another $600,000 would be needed for that to happen — but with cranes and a truck, the engine was moved from Laramie’s LaBonte Park several miles southwest to the historic train depot.
