116 Cars Westbound |
| Description: |
Union Pacific 4001 lugs a 116 car train uphill at Riview. Riview is located just west of Green River, where trains begin the climb to Evanston further west. The Ogden-bound train is made up of 11 cars loaded with coal, followed by a lengthy string of empty reefers. Trains heading west on the Wyoming Division often had empty reefers. These cars would then be loaded and returned east. Obtained from Union Pacific Steam: Big Boy Portraits (Bush, Ehernberger) |

UP 4001 |
| Description: |
UP 4001 gets some brief R&R in Green River. A worker inspects the pistons while another loads coal into the centipede tender. World War 2 has begun, and regular cleaning of the engines has mostly stopped, as they are constantly on the move, shuttling troops and supplies across the Wasatch range.

Big Boy 4001 |
| Description: |
UP 4001 rolls through the yard at Ogden in mid 1946. 4001 was the second of 20 Big Boys ordered by Union Pacific in 1941. The last of these 20 massive engines was built in December 1941, but another five would be built in 1944 to meet wartime traffic demands. All 25 of these brutes would be retired by 1960, and of them, 17 (including the 4001) would be scrapped in the following 3 years.
