Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In July of 2013, the Union Pacific Railroad reacquired Big Boy steam locomotive number 4014 from the Rail Giants Train Museum at the Pomona Fairplex with the intention of restoring number 4014 to operating condition. Once in working order, the locomotive will become part of the Union Pacific's Steam Program. Built in 1941 by the American Locomotive works, the Big Boy is considered to be the biggest steam locomotive ever built. Come along as we follow the Big Boy on the first leg of its journey to its new home in Cheyenne, Wyoming where it will undergo restoration to operating condition. This video includes coverage of initial prep work by the UP Steam Team to get the locomotive moving as well as shots from the January 26th, 2014 move from Pomona to Union Pacific's West Colton Yard

The Big Boy is technically not the largest steam locomotive ever built. The Chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian Railway had a series of locomotives, 2-6-6-6 Allegheny/Blue Ridge locomotives, which were even heavier than the Big Boys, and are the most powerful steam locomotives ever. Lima made a mistake on the reporting and misrepresented the Allegheny's weight as being slightly under that of the Big Boy's.

Laut Wikipedia: Gesamtgewicht der UP 4000: 548 Tonnen! Tja, everything is bigger in the States. The restoration of the 4014 is to be complete by May 2019. The end of a huge job - isn't it?

I've done my best with trying to keep up with the restoration of this work of art ever since 2014, and I'm pleased to say that the 5 year wait was worth it.
