In late 1947, Big Boy 4009 makes its way through the yard in Cheyenne. The big articulated has been on the UP system for around 6 years at this point, and will spend another 12 on the railroad before its retirement in 1959. Even then, it will be another four years before the engine is cut up on May 13, 1963. Obtained from Union Pacific Steam: Big Boy Portraits (Bush, Ehernberger) |
