UP 4014 is under Steam and made test runs this week. This is something 10 years ago I never thought would see a big boy running in my lifetime. No matter how you feel about steam programs and the foam that comes with it, this is an impressive feat.

Only downside is that for the next two weeks all we're going to see on Facebook is 4014...may have to duck out of a few groups for a bit and unfollow Trains Magazine...lol

Judging by the photos/ videos the towns were stupid busy out west for this event.

Glad to see it running again. But the Big Boys were freight locomotives.

Big Boy 4014 restored to steaming again
The Detroit News has an article https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/ ... /39457107/ about the Union Pacific's restoration of Big Boy 4014. Cool!
