How to live
A Big Boy Life
Bringing the Big Boy Back to Life
Sharing buttons:
think about the moment of the driving of
the Golden Spike 157 years ago and
that's a piece of American history and a
piece of Union Pacific history and so
when it came time to decide what we're
gonna do big to celebrate a big
anniversary what more you do then bring
back and refurbish this big boy
locomotive there's no store where you
can go buy 40:14 locomotive parts they
had to do it all from scratch we've
rebuilt it over the last four or five
years all 1.2 million pounds of this
awesome piece of machinery it really is
a tribute to the just intrepid nature of
our nation and Americans generally that
they take on obstacles and move forward
regardless of the challenges we wouldn't
be Cheyenne without the Union Pacific we
love the new Pacific we've had such a
long-standing partnership and
relationship it's family the crowds are
amazing there are thousands of people
here people are lined up all up and down
the tracks

as we break 4014 in across the trip from
Cheyenne Dogma in the next few days
we're getting it ready for a long trip
around RUP system all summer long so the
big boy will be coming to a town near
you for Union Pacific system this summer
it's the largest steam locomotive in the
world and it's been taking our guests
over Sherman Hill today we do have the
Beatles here to that we have the Beatle
equivalent in the railroad world the
40:14 big boy steam locomotive there's
nothing else like it you think about the
history of rail in the United States
this is a key part of that history and
by having it travel Arjen Pacific system
this year and years to come it just
teaches that history lesson once again
the role that railroads played in
building America and the particularly
the role the Union Pacific Way
