The other side of the medal features both a steam and diesel-electric locomotive engine and the logo of the Union Pacific Railroad.The Streamliner was a streamlined light-weight diesel-electric passenger locomotive that was introduced in 1934.
The Challenger was a huge articulated 4-6-6-4 steam locomotive that was introduced in 1936. It was nearly 122 feet (37 meters) long and weighed more than a million pounds (450,000 kg.).
