Train enthusiasts in eastern Wyoming and Nebraska will have a chance to see Big Boy 4014, the only one of 25 massive 1.2 million-pound steam locomotives…

The Titanic was immense in its day, but would be dwarfed by modern cruise ships. Union Pacific’s Big Boy locomotive was large when it was brand new in 1941–and still looks colossal next to modern trains. One special Boy has been in the barn for a long restoration, and is finally moving under its own power.

Rail Brothers on Instagram: "Getting smoked on the Hometown Grade! 2102 charges up the Hometown Grade with a string of 50 hopper cars (and a caboose!) during test runs in April of 2022 after its recent rebuild. The big 4-8-4 northern engine was labeled as a T1 class locomotive by the Reading Railroad. It was originally built as a smaller 2-8-0 I-10 locomotive before being rebuilt by the Reading shops during WWII into the 4-8-4 it is today. #readingandnorthern #steamtrains #stacktalk"
