SALT LAKE CITY — The site of the 2002 Winter Olympics hosted a guest on the Games' 10th anniversary Friday. A Union Pacific locomotive engine commemorating the Games paid a visit to Salt Lake City.

The locomotives were originally part of the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay, a 65-day, 13,500-mile journey across 46 states that began on Dec. 4, 2001, in Atlanta. The locomotives arrived in Salt Lake City for the opening ceremonies Feb. 8, 2002.
