One of the reasons they were created was because freight going up the tracks in Ogden Canyon put a strain on steam engines.

Great story! My grandfather was an engineer on the “Big Boy”, his route running from Ogden to Evanston in the 40’s and early 50’s. A great piece on local history.

Chased the Big Boy from Evanston all the way back to Ogden! It was transformational. I cannot wait for it to come back to Utah later this month!

No disrespect. But to the man that said it’s like the Hogwarts express. No it’s not. Like not at all. It’s way better. It’s the best in the world.

@dillonohlemiller401 14 дней назад

Yeah that comment confused me. The Hogwarts Express doesn’t exist. It’s a fictional train. This is real. How does someone come to that conclusion 🤦🏾‍♂️

@dillonohlemiller401 14 дней назад

Did….did he just compare 4014 to the Hogwarts Express? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Looks to have been converted to run on fuel oil? If so, what grade and at what firing rate (G.P.H.)? Thank you.

@alexvids9232 11 дней назад

It will be 3.5 hours from me in 2 days. So tempted to go.

When is Union Pacific 844 steam locomotive Return

@JohnnyBravo-kg5zh 3 дня назад

You claim that the railroad was Union Pacific in Roseville back when the locomotives were king. Incorrect it was PFE Pacific Fruit Express and when they had the biggest ice house this west of the Mississippi. I come from a long railroad family from Roseville.
