  Union Pacific No. 264 is a C-2 class 2-8-0 “Consolidation” type steam locomotive built for the Union Pacific by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, in 1907 as #264. It is one of three hundred and fifty-eight of what became known as "Harriman Common Standard" Consolidation (2-8-0) type locomotives built for the UP by Baldwin, Brooks and Schenectady from 1904 to 1910.

Then later renumbered #6264, this was one of the last steam locomotives used by the UP. It was taken out of service in early 1950, and it was stored in La Salle, CO, and then donated to the Sons of the Utah Pioneers in 1959. In 1981, it was relocated to Heber City, UT, and was bought by the Nevada State Railroad Museum, Boulder City in 1993 where it today sits on static display with the collection.
