The Great 4014 Train Chase

 

And now, the star of the show! The Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 steam locomotive approaches Choctaw Road Crossing while enroute to New Orleans.

 

The 4014 is one of 25 Big Boy class locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Union Pacific Railroad from 1941 to 1948. The simple articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive has the longest engine body of any reciprocating steam locomotive at 132 feet long, It was the second-heaviest steam locomotive ever built, weighing in with a total weight (Locomotive Tender combined) at 599 tons.

 

The Big Boy locomotives were built to haul freight over the Wasatch mountains between Ogden, Utah and Green River, Wyoming. In the late 1940s, they were reassigned to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they hauled freight over Sherman Hill to Laramie, Wyoming.

 

With the shift to diesel-electric power by most railroads, the reign of the Big Boy was coming to an end. The last revenue train hauled by a Big Boy ended its run early in the morning on July 21, 1959. Most were placed in storage and only four remained in operational condition at Green River, Wyoming until 1962. Only 8 Big Boys survived and placed in museums throughout the United States.

 

ALCO built the 4014 in November 1941 and delivered to Union Pacific the following month. The 4014 traveled 1,031,205 miles during its twenty years of revenue service. No. 4014 completed its final revenue run on July 21, 1959, just hours before the last revenue run by any Big Boy. Union Pacific retired 4014 on December 7, 1961 and soon afterwards the railroad donated the locomotive to the Southern California chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society in Pomona, California.

 

In 2012, Union Pacific officials announced that they would obtain a Big Boy locomotive, restore it to operating condition, and use it in excursion service. The 4014 was chosen and Southern California chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society agreed to transfer ownership of No. 4014 back to Union Pacific on July 23, 2013. On November 14, 2013 the 4014 was pulled from the museum's grounds to began the long journey to UP's steam shop in Cheyenne, Wyoming, arriving on May 8, 2014. On May 1, 2019, the 4014 moved under it's own power for the first time in more than 59 years.

The Great 4014 Train Chase

 

A broader view of the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 steam locomotive as it quickly approaches the Choctaw Road Crossing while enroute to New Orleans. I had to quickly switch to the camera with the wide angle lens in order to capture the last few shots of the locomotive passing by at this location.

 

The 4014 is one of 25 Big Boy class locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Union Pacific Railroad from 1941 to 1948. The simple articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive has the longest engine body of any reciprocating steam locomotive at 132 feet long, It was the second-heaviest steam locomotive ever built, weighing in with a total weight (Locomotive Tender combined) at 599 tons.

The Great 4014 Train Chase

 

Big wheels a turning! The Union Pacific Big Boy steam locomotive is actually two locomotives in one. In this hastily taken photo the first half of the locomotive, the pilot truck and the first 8 driving wheels of the first engine can be seen. The four-wheel leading truck provides stability as the locomotive enters a curve. The diameter of the leading truck wheels are 36 inches. The diameter of the locomotive's 16 driving wheels are 68 inches with an axle load 67,500 lbs each. The four-wheel trailing truck (not seen in this photo) supports the large firebox. The diameter of the trailing truck wheels is 42 inches.

The Great 4014 Train Chase

 

Moving on down the line. A group of people standing near the right of way waving at the crew of the UP 4014 as the train heads to New Orleans.

 

The Big Boy 2021 tour begin on August 5th as the locomotive departed Cheyenne, Wyoming and traveling through Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. New Orleans is the halfway point of the Big Boy 2021 Tour.

 

The 4014 is one of 25 Big Boy class locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Union Pacific Railroad from 1941 to 1948. The simple articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive has the longest engine body of any reciprocating steam locomotive at 132 feet long, It was the second-heaviest steam locomotive ever built, weighing in with a total weight (Locomotive Tender combined) at 599 tons.

Union Pacific retired 4014 on December 7, 1961 and soon afterwards the railroad donated the locomotive to the Southern California chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society in Pomona, California.

 

In 2012, Union Pacific officials announced that they would obtain a Big Boy locomotive, restore it to operating condition, and use it in excursion service. The 4014 was chosen and Southern California chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society agreed to transfer ownership of No. 4014 back to Union Pacific on July 23, 2013. On November 14, 2013 the 4014 was pulled from the museum's grounds to began the long journey to UP's steam shop in Cheyenne, Wyoming, arriving on May 8, 2014. On May 1, 2019, the 4014 moved under it's own power for the first time in more than 59 years.
