Big Boy 4014 Steam Train - The Road to Restoration: Pomona to Colton
Video by: CoasterFan2105
In July of 2013, the Union Pacific Railroad reacquired Big Boy steam locomotive number 4014 from the Rail Giants Train Museum at the Pomona Fairplex with the intention of restoring number 4014 to operating condition. Once in working order, the locomotive will become part of the Union Pacific's Steam Program. Built in 1941 by the American Locomotive works, the Big Boy is considered to be the biggest steam locomotive ever built. Come along as we follow the Big Boy on the first leg of its journey to its new home in Cheyenne, Wyoming where it will undergo restoration to operating condition. This video includes coverage of initial prep work by the UP Steam Team to get the locomotive moving as well as shots from the January 26th, 2014 move from Pomona to Union Pacific's West Colton Yard.
