Big Boy 4014-Return to the Mainline

For decades it was only a dream: to see one of Union Pacific s massive 4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotives under steam again. Incredibly, though, #4014 is thundering down the mainline once again. In this jam-packed program, you ll see the Big Boy s return to steam, followed by her epic doubleheader with 4-8-4 #844 from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah and back. If you like steam railroading action, that is BIG steam railroading action, then you ll want to watch this today. Features: See Big Boy 4014 s test run, her first time on the mainline in nearly 60 years. See her climbing Sherman Hill, Peru Hill, and the Wasatch Grade. Great action in Weber and Echo Canyons. See the Union Pacific s big celebration in Ogden featuring the 844 and the 4014. Attend the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad at Golden Spike National Historical Park. Thrill the the rare sight of a 4-8-4 and 4-8-8-4 double heading for hundreds of miles on the mainline. Lots of great ACTION as 4014 is broken in from her overhaul and makes some noise.
