Union Pacific Class T-57 is a model class of 4-6-0 steam locomotives. Manufactured from 1889 for the Union Pacific Railroad by the Cooke Locomotive & Machine Works, Patterson, NJ, USA, these locomotives operated throughout the Union Pacific system, one (#1243) as late as 1956.

The Company, as of 2014, refers to preserved Class T-57 locomotive #1243 as "The Harriman Engine," as it is the only surviving locomotive in the Railroad inventory from the E. H. Harriman presidency.
