Union Pacific Class MK-9

The Union Pacific Class MK-9 were a series of 2-8-2 Mikado-type steam locomotives that operated on the Union Pacific Railroad.
== History ==
These engines were built by Alco (Brooks) for the Union Pacific Railroad under construction numbers 61924 through 61939 and were assigned road numbers 2295 through 2310. A total of 16 were built and were shipped to the "Union Pacific" during July 1920.
These engines were used primarily for freight service, and ran in service from 1920-1959.
When diesel locomotives started to replace steam in the late 50s, all but one of the engines were scrapped leaving No. 2295 the only one left in existence. It is currently on static display at the railroad depot in Boise, ID.
