MORE COMING SOON! Union Pacific 4014 is one of the largest steam locomotives in the world. The railroad's Steam Team has just completed a full restoration as part of a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 2019. In this short video, we will see the locomotive on its first official test run as it leaves the Cheyenne, Wyoming rail yard where it was restored. My original intention was to have a full video on the test run but due to continuing computer issues with my laptop, this is all I will be able to post until I return from my trip. I will be posting a full video on the Big Boy's first mainline excursion in the coming weeks. Until then, thanks for watching!
