Union Pacific Steam Shop - Cheyenne, WY
Two now famous numbers in steam railroading sit side by side Inside the UP Steam Shop belonging to their operating locomotives, FEF-3 #844 and 4-8-8-4 Big Boy #4014. The 4-8-4 is winterized and the 4000 is undergoing winter maintenance and fine tuning before this year's trips. You wouldn't know at 50 MPH, but 4014's number plate today is about an inch larger than the original.
Locomotives: UP 4014, UP 844
