Beautiful action shot of a double header with UP Big Boy #4012 in the lead. No exact date was given. This loco now resides at the Steamtown USA Museum in Scranton, PA. John William photo. Lucas Connor (see comment below) believes this photo might be closer to 1956 since it appears to have been recently repaired and outshopped. Seems fairly good estimate. Thanks, Lucas! |

UP 4-8-8-4 #4012 - "Big Boy" - Union Pacific |
| Description: |
Built between 1941 and 1944, this locomotive worked the western ranges until retirement along with its brothers around 1961. Due to its size, it can take only 20º curves, something in short supply most places outside of the open western states. |
