Big Boy #4014 UP - Wheaton IL - a photo on Flickriver

            We had a fun get together to shoot this historic beauty. Wheaton IL

The 150th anniversary celebration of the Transcontinental Railroad's completion isn't over yet. Union Pacific is just gathering steam following its May 9 ceremony in Ogden, Utah, commemorating the anniversary. The newly restored Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest steam locomotive, is returning to the rails for its own "Great Race Across the Midwest."
