Union Pacific's Last of the giant's



UP Locomotive number 2014 is on her way from Pomona California to Cheyenne Wyoming this week





By John M. Glionna

July 29, 2013, 1:23 p.m.

It has been called the last of the giant freight locomotives, a lumbering behemoth known as the “Big Boy 4014.” For half a century it has been on display at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona, drawing railroad buffs from around the nation.

Now the mammoth steam engine is about to take another trip -- to the vast plains of rural Wyoming.

Union Pacific Railroad officials recently announced that the company has reached an agreement to acquire the locomotive from the RailGiants Train Museum at the fairgrounds. The railroad said it plans to move the engine to maintenance shops in Cheyenne, where crews will try to get it back to running condition.

“We’re really excited about the acquisition of the 2014 Big Boy,” railroad spokesman Aaron Hunt told the Los Angeles Times, adding that Union Pacific will post updates about the move, planned for the near future. Updates will be posted on Twitter @RailGiants.

Holy shit - that pic is hosted at Geocities? That place is still around?

EDIT: Nevermind...looks like geocities.ws has nothing to do with the old geocities.com. The latter is now owned by Yahoo, which appears to have killed it long ago.

years ago, I flew out to Lake Tahoe just to watch an old steamer locomotive on it's run. that was really neat to see. watched it come over donner pass, across the mountainside near donner lake and then went to a lil town nearby called verdi to put a penny on the track and watch it go by from up close to the tracks.

The amount of energy it takes to move that much steel is unbelievable.


They did it with coal and steam.

They brought Big Boy No 4018 to a railroad museum a few miles from my house. They moved a RR museum from Dallas to Frisco, because I guess they ran out of funds and room in Dallas. I'm pretty psyched to have it so close.

Its hard to describe, what running steam is like. nothing else quite like it.
You do it by the seat of your pants. you feel a loco as its running,you smell it, & you listen to it,you watch the gauges all at the same time. & by doing this,it will tell you whats going on.

We always think of the Bald Eagle, the Cheeseburger and Apple Pie being American...but nothing says America like a big, badass locomotive.
