OMAHA, Neb. – Union Pacific has appointed J. Scott George as Director – Steam Shop in Cheyenne, Wyo. George was previously the director of system locomotive facilities in North Little Rock, Ark. In his new role George will handle day-to-day administrative tasks associated with Union Pacific’s Steam Shop.
The railroad said George’s move to Cheyenne will free up time for Ed Dickens, Senior Manager – Heritage Operations, to focus on setting the technical direction for returning 4-8-4 No. 844 to service and the restoration and eventual operation of Big Boy No. 4014.
