The 191 may be the the oldest engine that the UP once owned in one way or another, but the oldest UP engine is #737

But of the two I'd rather see the 191 restored and running."
While at CRRM this summer, I arrived about an hour before closing time. I asked about the 51/191, and was directed to it. The fellow asked me about my interest, and I told him I was there to take it home and restore it. He told me if I could have it outside the fence before they locked up, it was mine! And there I was without crane and truck! Had to settle for 3 rolls of film and dreams of it up on Quartz Creek.
