en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 2, Union Pacific Railroad's newest commemorative locomotive, No. 4547, began a special transport near Corinne, Utah: delivering solid rocket motor segments for NASA's Artemis III lunar exploration mission.

Jim Vena, CEO of Union Pacific Railroad, stated at the commemorative event that when Locomotive No. 4547 transports these rocket components, it represents the strength of the nation's supply chain and the company's role in connecting industry, communities, and opportunities—from the rail network to the lunar surface.

Joining Vena were leaders from NASA, Northrop Grumman—which manufactures the Space Launch System boosters—Wabtec, which built the locomotive, and elected officials from Utah.

The new locomotive is the third in Union Pacific's President Series: No. 1616 commemorates President Abraham Lincoln, No. 4141 commemorates President George H.W. Bush, and No. 4547 commemorates current President Donald Trump.

Artemis III is the second crewed mission in NASA's Artemis lunar exploration program and is expected to launch in 2027.
