Die 4-6-6-4 Challenger Lokomotive sah man zum ersten Mal auf Union Pacific Gleisen im Jahre 1936. Schon von Anfang an war es klar daÃŸ diese Lok schwere ZÃ¼ge mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten befÃ¶rdern konnte. Obwohl die Challenger Lok fÃ¼r den schnellen GÃ¼terverkehr entwickelt wurde, benutzte sie Union Pacific auch fÃ¼r Personenverkehr, die Lok bewies daÃŸ sie allen Anforderungen gewachsen war.

In the early 30's, Union Pacific designed the best high-speed simple articulated locomotive for American rails and had the ALCO locomotive works build these units. The 4-6-6-4 Challenger first appeared on Union Pacific rails in 1936. It was clear from the beginning that it could handle heavy trains at high speeds. Although the Challenger was designed for fast freight traffic, she was also used for passenger service by the Union Pacific; this engine proved capable for any task required of it.
