Went out today to find this locomotive, a Big Boy 4-8-8-4 articulated, one of if not the largest steam locomotive built. This one was made in Sept. 1941 and must have served during WWII hauling supplies and troops for the war effort.
Union Pacific is moving her to Cheyenne Wyoming to put her back into operating condition for railfan tours. Will be a site to see under steam power. The B&W photo was taken by yours truly in 1962 while on a road trip with my mom and dad when we went through Cheyenne and I think it is the same loco, cool huh:thumbup:
