I just noticed that the leading locomotive's number is the same wheel arrangement of the Big Boy. Nice detail.

Just noticed that they used loco #4884, just like the wheel arrangement on the 4014.

That is completely bad-ass that UP used the SP heritage unit and the SD70 4884 to perform this move! I can not imagine a more interesting way to have done it. UP you earned some style points in my book for this.
|
Wow, it's almost like they planned that. 4884 just even happened to be freshly washed for the occasion, what a coincidence, right?

3 great locomotives in one photo! (did anyone else notice the number on the lead loco is the same as the wheel arrangement on the Big Boy? ) :-) Great photo Matthew, thanks for sharing it with us on RP.
And I think a PCA from me.

Nice catch rob216- I wonder if UP did that on purpose or if it was totally unplanned.
|
that photo will most likley be on the 2015 UP callender good job
|
I've been waiting forever to see this. And its awesome!
|
Nice to see the comparison size-wise between a Big Boy and a SD70.

New wallpaper on my computer.

I herd they will be using the SD70 4014 for one of the moves.
