UP #4014 & UP #844 Travel Beautiful Utah
UP 4014 and UP 844 putting on a show!
Who knew that Union Pacific Shop would someday roll out a double header when Big Boy made his inaugural run after 60 years in storage.
In what can only be called the gift of a lifetime for rail fans everywhere, UP 4014 AND UP 844 are teamed up to celebrate the Cheyenne, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah 150th Anniversary of the Golden Spike Ceremony.
The Big Boys could pull a 5 1/2 mile long train on level ground!
