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. http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/n...#axzz2kqXe3buz web cam for anyone that wants to watch http://trn.trains.com/Union%20Pacifi...%20Webcam.aspx |

Some of the best WWII & Korean war stories ever told. Were told to me out here as a young child by different vets sitting around the camp fire at night. Not so much anymore as most have pasted on. But back when I was a grade schooler, these stories always came at night around those camp fires by the men that were sent there.
