SALT LAKE CITY — Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014, known as the world's largest
steam train, will make its return to Utah next year as part of a multistate
tour.

Union Pacific announced Thursday the locomotive will travel across all four
corners of its service area as part of a 2024 tour to highlight the history of
the unique train that helped haul heavy freight, particularly during World War
II. Exact dates and route information associated with the tour are yet to be
determined, but the massive train is slated to make at least a stop in Salt Lake
City, according to the company.

The company last brought the locomotive to Utah in 2019.

"The Big Boy represents the history of Union Pacific and the United States,"
said Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena, in a statement. "When No. 4014 comes to town,
we will celebrate with the communities where we operate, our employees and their
families. Together, we will marvel at how far technology has brought us."

American Locomotive Company began producing the Big Boy locomotive for Union
Pacific in the 1940s. Each locomotive was massive, weighing at least 1.1 million
pounds and measuring 133 feet in length — nearly double the size of Union
Pacific's current fleet of diesel trains and more than three times the size of a
normal school bus.

Big Boy No. 4014 was one of 25 of these locomotives that the New York-based
American Locomotive Company produced between 1941 and 1944, delivering it to
Union Pacific in December 1941 just as the United States entered World War II.
It featured a 25,000-gallon tank and could hold as much as 56,000 pounds of coal
at the time, according to Union Pacific.

"They had a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, which meant they had four wheels on the
leading set of 'pilot' wheels which guided the engine, eight drivers, another
set of eight drivers, and four wheels following, which supported the rear of the
locomotive," the company wrote about the 25 locomotives.

leaving Evanston, Wyo., on the way to Ogden as part of the celebration of the
150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s Completion on May 8, 2019.

The large engines mostly operated between Ogden and Cheyenne, Wyoming. That's
because the steam locomotive was "designed primarily to handle heavy freight
traffic in the Wasatch Mountains" and its continuous steep grades, as noted by
Britannica.

This proved to be important during the war, serving as one of the engines that
Union Pacific turned to transport supplies and people throughout the country.

However, Big Boys began to fade out of service as railroad companies switched to
cheaper and more effective diesel locomotives. The last Big Boy was pulled out
of regular operation in 1959, according to Britannica.

Only eight of these trains exist today, spread out in museums across the U.S.
Big Boy No. 4014 is the only one that still operates in any form, as Union
Pacific decided to restore it in time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the
completion of the transcontinental railroad in 2019. The company also made
changes to the engine so it operates now on industrial heating oils.

The 2019 tour included multiple stops in Utah. Union Pacific officials said
Thursday that they will release more information about the 2024 tour closer to
when it begins.

Other anticipated stops are planned in Chicago, Dallas and Houston, as well as
parts of California, Idaho and Oregon.
