UP X480         
The Challenger and DDA40X arent the only locomotives on display in North Platte. Over in Memorial Park, UP X480, a Baldwin Locomotive Works 2-8-0, sits on display. This engine was used primarily on shorter moves from North Platte west on the Overland Route. Whats unique about this locomotive is the coal and water tenders essentially are held in a singular tender. The locomotive was donated to the City of North Platte in February of 1956 after retirement.
