If you like trains you know the BigBoy # 4014 ~ A steam locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company for Union Pacific Railroad in December 1941, known for its massive size and power, designed to handle heavy freight over the Wasatch Mountains & operated between Ogden, Utah, and Cheyenne, Wyo. Its a beast ! 🇺🇸 Tender Type: 14-wheeled Water Capacity: 25,000 gallons Fuel: Coal**56,000 lbs. Cylinder: Diameter: 23 3/4 in. Stroke: 32 in.

It is cool to see!

Sorry folks, not running under steam. Being pushed by the diesel electric locomotive. Notice no real smoke, no steam coming from drive cylinders, no steam from whistle. But cool to see it out for a spin...

At one time, that was the epitome of long-distance travel in America. The 747 of its day.

We watched it come through Marshall Co today!

Always nice to see. As well as no graffiti!

She wasn’t being pushed when I saw her. Fascinating piece of history. Thank you UP !

I heard it was coming through here this month 🤷🏻♂️

Very nice, good video shot.

The past was far more dignified.
