For sixty years, no one thought a "Big Boy" would ever run again. Fortunately, this thought has been proven wrong.
In May 2019, Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 4014 once again returned to steam and set its wheels on the UP mainline on an epic week long journey from Cheyenne, WY to Ogden, UT. This event culminated in 4014 and 844 nose to nose to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the original completion of the transcontinental railroad with the Golden Spike.
Accompanied by fellow steam program veteran 4-8-4 844, the doubleheaded steam odyssey across windswept Wyoming made for some of the most beautiful sights for the start of a new career for what is now the largest operating steam engine in the world.
