To Shiny Rails

Big Boy UP #4014, Ogden, UT

by on May.09, 2019, under Uncategorized

The latest effort by the UP Steam Team is UP’s #4014, Big Boy. And I got to be in Ogden, UT today to welcome her to town and essentially open the Spike150 celebration. If you want to see great images of the Big Boy and sister UP #844, particularly as they make their way from Cheyenne, WY to Ogden, UT, check out the UP Steam Club Facebook page.

The rest of my pics from the day are here. They’re mostly about the event and the sites of Ogden, particularly near Ogden’s Union Station (which houses the Utah State Railroad Museum, by the way).

#DONE.

UP #4014 on the left, UP #844 on the right.
This is the UP “Torch Relay Car” for the 2002 Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City, Utah (and environs). It’s now part of the Utah State Railroad Museum’s collection. I happened to be in Guadalupe, CA in January of 2002 when that torch car pulled by UP #2002 locomotive came through with the torch lit. Story/Pics here (back when I was the webman for the Santa Maria Valley Railway Historical Museum).
