Current Restorations

BIG BOY NO. 4014

Union Pacific Railroad is undertaking the movement and restoration of one of the world’s largest steam locomotives – the Big Boy No. 4014. The locomotive is expected to move in Spring 2014 from Colton, Calif., to Cheyenne, Wyo., where it will undergo restoration that is anticipated to take three to five years.
