Uniion Pacific 4014 "Big Boy"

[wyogirl]

I took these shots as the Big Boy overnighted in my town. We weren't allowed to get close and I had to shoot through a fence on both sides.... so they aren't fabulous but I though there might be a train nut on this forum who would enjoy them anyway. For you non-train nuts... The UP 4014 is one of 25 steam locomotives that were made exclusively for Union Pacific. It is one of only a few left in existence. If you are interested, you can read more about it here: UP: Big Boy No. 4014

Nice. I've seen the one on static display at the museum in Green Bay. Really phenomenally huge. I'd love to see it under steam!
